I film my kids playing sports all the time...(on the little cd's ) and would love to send a small section of what i recorder to family and friends. How do i go about doing that? im always getting e-mails w/ little videos from people. I know this question may sound silly but i really dont have a clue how to do it

well your manual should tell you more but

you probably will need a firewire from your computer to go into the camera.

i f you don't have firewire on your computer you can get a caard for it.

once hooked up, a nice utility like windv

http://windv.mourek.cz/

will let you record onto your hard drive.

you'll need editing software to edit to edit the video. premiere is nice.
