Hey> me and my friends record stuff like every weekend on this camera of mine its kind of old but i was wondering if there was anyway for me to hook it up to my computer so that i can edit the hours of film we have.. Its a Sony handycam video 8 XR CCD-TR517 NTSC. It only has the video/audio plug in and a hole that says RFU DC OUT.. it doesnt have an s-vido plug in. I was wondering if there is any video cards or software that would make it possible for me to edit, or if i should just stop tryin or buy a new camera. Thanks
