I've never met Cathy, but I'm sure she's wonderful and well informed.

Back to your problem : There's a lot of documentation on this, I'd
take a look at some of the info and links on this page to start with
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...os/create.mspx

There's also a video tutorial to help out with some of the steps.

You didn't mention anything much about the camera - does it take
MiniDV tapes ? Or mini DVDs ? Or is it using some sort of memory stick
or hard disk inside it (consult the product manual for answers...)

Cheers - Neil
