Just reading through the manual it sounds like the camcorder can connect with a USB cable. I don't know if Sony's software is compatible with whatever version of Windows you're using now.

The other option is there seems to be a output jack that provides composite video but left/right audio. To use that, you'd need some kind of video capture device, which are lesson common than they used to be. Pinnacle and Roxio seem to still offer them.

I have tried to use a USB cable before with no luck and it seems that I am to âÂÂrefer to the âÂÂFirst Step Guideâ in the supplied CD-ROM,â which I donâÂÂt have and never did. I got this thing used. I also see, âÂÂUSB STREAM: Select to activate the USB Streaming function,â and thatâÂÂs something I didnâÂÂt know about and have never tried! IâÂÂm going to see if that makes a difference! Oh and I am running Windows 7.

never mind :/
