It would appear to be an analog camcorder and as such either your graphics
card will have to be VIVO compatible (video in and video out) or you will
have to purchase an analog capture card. Very few graphics cards have VIVO
capability. Video in is NOT the same as Video OUT.

Should your card not prove to be VIVO capable, look at www.dvdrhelp.com for
different reviews of analog capture hardware.
