Transferring video from a Sony Handycam to my Dell 3891
I have a Sony DCR-PC101E PAL Handycam from which I would like to transfer videos on to my Inspiron 3891. How can I do this as the PC does not have a firewire port? Is there some other method I can use?

The most practical way is over an analog input, which will require a USB capture device. Though there are USB to firewire adapters, they may not work with the Sony software -- and the Sony software is so old at this point that it may not work with a current version of Windows.

Re: the PC does not have a firewire port
