Your camcorder has two output options. One is composite (one video and two audio) for connection to a tv or pc input adapter using rca jacks.

The second is a S-Video output that can plug into a tv or vcr or pc capture adapter if it/they have S-Video input. Documentation says you can also go from the camcorder's S-Video out put to a USB input on your PC.

A firewire input probably not necessary on your PC as your video is standard definition quality.

Software should have been included with your camcorder purchase to install on your PC to allow you to do S-Video to USB transfer and do simple editing.

I suggest your video capture settings for for MPEG2 PAL, I guess, based on where you are located.

So, first step is to buy a S-Video to USB cable.
Plug S-Video into your camcorder and USB into your PC.
Open software and put in video capture mode. (if you don't have software you can download free trial versions of most well known video editing programs from Pinacle, Adobe and ULead Video Studio)

Be sure camcorder is turned on and in VCR or playback mode and push play button. The software should recognize the input from the camcorder and record your video as a video file to your PC harddrive.

Once you have gotten the hang of transfering your video to your PC successfully then you can open the files in editing software and start learning how to edit your video.

Another good source for software can be your friends. All separately sold PC internal dvd drives/burners come bundled with "free" versions of capture and editing and dvd creation software so maybe a friend has such a disc that you can use for a trial.
goodluck
