I hope one of you guys has some experience with this because I am totally clueless. I have a Sony DCR PC100 Digital Camcorder that I got last year as a present. Since then I have shot about 4 tapes of video. My wife thinks its great, but would like to see them on something besides the little two-inch monitor on the camera.
Here's the problem. What kind of equipment/software do I need to download/edit my home movies. I know I'll probably need a firewire and some kind of editing software? Will I need a video card for my computer as well? The most sophisticated computer I have is a laptop Compaq Presario 1800. I hear that doing any kind of video work uses a tremendous amount of memory. Will my computer be up to the task or am I looking to spend some major bucks on upgrades to see my mother-in-law yelling at me to get that thing out of her face. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
