You need to connect your computer to your camcorder via a cable and then us a program like Windows Movie Maker (which is already installed on most computers), as the program will do it for you.

I don't know what cables you have got but I would have thought you will have one that is suitable to connect them together.

What do you mean it will not work, does your camcorder have a USB socket ?

Have you got Windows Movie Maker on your computer, if so start it up and select 'capture from video device' from the options on the left. You should then (hopefully) see your Sony camcorder listed there and just follow the instructions.

I'm all out of ideas apart from reading the help file. Do you have any cables, this is what I use to connect my camcorder to my PC:
