Hi all,
I have Sony HandyCam MiniDV format.
It has a i.link connection.

How can I transfer a minidv tape to my PC in Avi or Mpeg format?
Do I need a special software?


Thank you.

To transfer as a DV-codec-encoded AVI, all you need is a 1394 port and the
appropriate software.  To transfer as an mpeg, you will need hardware that
can transcode the DV-25 video.
