so who can help me with this one.

my misses got me a samsung dv camcorder for crimbo (bless her) but she drew the line at 200 quid so my camcorder hasnt got a usb interface,
it dose have a dv link and my laptop is dv compatible so is it possible for me to transfer the data from the dv cassett to my laptop for editing?

ive searched through my manuals and all it said is that without a usb interface im stuck with an iee1334 (or similar number) transfer (the dv link)
but all the manual tells me is that i can link the camera to the laptop and record images via the laptops 17 inch screen

if i cant get it onto my laptop for editing, how else can i put together a decent vid from all my clips? and if i can edit it on my laptop can anybody recommend a good (nothing too flash im skint) video suite

cheers

lol yeah my first mistake,

i did hook it up to my lap top but couldnt get any data files transferred, maybe im not running the right software.

also theres no data transfer function on the camera, ive a nifty feeling that the iee driver wasnt installed properly on my lap top.ill have a fiddle but at least i know its doable know

cheers

cheers rich, shes workin now.
