how do i get a video studio or editor for a cam recorder?

[jwpoophead38]

i have a cannon zr100 and it only comes with a dv cable and it has dv tape. my friend has a camera with a usb but i do not so we can just trade tapes. where can i get a video editor or a way to get my cannon to plug into the computer to edit my footage?

I have the zr200. You need to have a firewire (also called IEEE 1394) card in the back of your computer, and a cable to plug into it. Once you have that, asuming you have Windows XP, you can use Windows Movie Maker to capture the video to your computer.

Any tech store will have it, like RadioShack. Its not more than a couple bucks.
