I have one of the first generation DVD camcorders that do not have a connection cable to the computer.I had to buy a program to rib the movies of the DVD's so I can edit them in the computer.You loose some of the quality of the movie and it takes some time too.My next purchase will be a harddrive camcorder.Looks like they're slowely getting cheaper.Since I'm computer handycapped too so I had to spend a lot of time to resaerch how to get those movies of the DVD's.When you go to the store most of the sellspeople don't know anything about it.
