Thanks for your replies. My Android phone cable has a different USB socket to the one on my camcorder. However, I have a cable that does fit the USB (A mini B, I think it's called) but I'm missing (or misunderstanding!) a vital link in the process as this connection does not give me motion video on the PC and I can't see how to use the capture/editing software that I've downloaded to download the data from the camcorder.

A FireWire card (Same as a video capture card?) would seem to be a way forward. Can anyone recommend one to a novice!

Being very new to this, there seems to be a lot to get my head around!
