Thanks guys - it looks like I have to find out more about my camcorder! It is not a high spec job so I am not to hopeful re. AV in. It does, however, have an 'Edit' socket just under the AV socket (same form of socket). Might this be a 2 way link?

The fallback option is to download from the wireless video receiver to my laptop. I am guessing that I would need to get some kind of analogue video capture device. Any clues?

If it goes that way - can anybody give me a clue as to how much disk space I will use per minute of video time? I am anticipating that each model flight would last 15 minutes max. I have about 70 Gb available on the laptop but I understand that higher resolution means bigger data files.

Thanks again for being helpful to a newbie
