Hi Vinay,
If you don't have a direct connect capability with your
camcorder, you should have composite video and audio outputs. If this
is all you have on the camcorder, sounds like you will need a video
input adapter or TV Tuner card. The video input adapter is usually
USB/USB 2.0 and the TV Tuner card is usually PCI for PCs. We offer
both on our site in the Audio/Video section. FYI, if you want the
fastest transfer you should use USB 2.0. Firewire is actually slower
than USB 2.0 in most cases even though it is rated as faster.
