sony mini-DV handycam

[Guest]

Hi, I just left a thread, but I forgot to specify that my handycam is a
mini-DV. I don't know if that makes a difference in whether it is compatable
with XP but reading through other people's questions I saw that everyone was
specifying if it was digital. My question, again, is why when I was
installing the software and wanting to download vidio through my USB my
computer said that the hardware was not compatible with XP and doing so could
damage the system. Can I install the software and download my video?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You need firewire to download the digital video from the digital camcorder
to the PC.

From what I could tell at the Sony website, the cable was not included
You need a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable. (ilink)
