Be sure the camcorder is off; then connect the camcorder's DV port (not USB) to the computer's firewire port (not USB) with a firewire cable (not USB). Then put the camcorder in Play or VCR mode, launch MovieMaker and Capture or Import the video. If it still does not import, download and install WinDV to get the video from the digital tape to the computer...
