Either connect the camcorder to the computer using the USB cable and capture directly from the mini DVD disc onto your hard disk or finalise the disc in the camcorder first, then take it out and put it into the dvd player/burner drive in your computer. I don't think Windows Movie Maker will allow you to open mini DVD camcorder files, so you may need to get other software. Did you get any capture/editing software on disc when you purchased the camcorder?
