How do I connect my digital video camera to a computer?

The DV Camcorders may be connected to a computer using an optional OHCI compatible, digital video capture kit available commercially. These kits must be capable of using the IEEE-1394 (firewire) interface to enable you to import digital video and still images into your computer from the DV cassette. The camcorder may also be connected to a computer via its Mini-B USB port, for downloading still images from the MMC card only.
