If you installed the drivers correctly, then the next step would be to open your video capturing software...Without the video capturing software,you cannot transfer footage from your miniDV cassetes to the PC...Examples of Video capture Sofwares:1.Windows Movie Maker(found in all WinXP n later PCs)2.Ulead Video Studio3. Pinacle 4. Nero too has 1 app in its suite..called Nero somethin...jus look it up in Nero Start Smart..so then,set you camera to vcr mode....then start playing it...in your pc press d rec button once you wanna start capturing...u might need to tinker with some settings like brightness,end format and etc...Has this answered your question?EDIT: It is possible to upload thro USB 2.0 also...I have a Sony video camera and i have transferred videos countless time to the PC thru USB 2.0 ....so,firewire is NOT necessary based on my understanding....
