You're apparently connecting your camera with USB (used for transfer of stills).
To capture video, use a Firewire connection: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/basics/transfer.php
Use any of the available freeware programs to capture. You can download a couple of them here:

You can also use MovieMaker, built in Windows XP, but be aware of some common mistakes doing that:

If you're capturing miniDV you don't need to convert. YUou can simply transfer it to your hard drive. Any program that cna do it will deliver the same quality.
Here are a couple of freeware capturing programs: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/downloads/freedownloads.php

Your material on the tape is compressed using a DV codec and after transfer it will still be compressed with DV codec. You don't need to do anything and certainly you don't want to recompress it with another codec (except for the purpose of making smaller files, DVD's, internet sharing etc.).
Some people will tell you that certain DV codecs are better than others, but if there is a quality difference it is hardly noticeable...

>>the new camcorders (mini dvd) will display better quality right?

I bought a medium end JVC DV recorder about 4 years ago. It recently went on the blink, so I searched around and finally settled on a low end Canon.

The first thing I would say is that no, video quality has not improved over these past years. I guess if would have went higher end and got a 3 CCD model it might have improved some. But the fact is the 4 year old JVC had great quality as does the 2 month old Canon.

But everything else has improved. The Canon has 22x optical zoom vice the JVC's 10x and that's definitly a nice plus.

Sound quality has definitly improved. But on this I'm not sure if that's the result of 4 years of improvements or that Canon just uses better quality microphones. My daughter was in two plays this year, and I recorded both of them, the first with the JVC and the second with the Canon. Both times I was in approx the same spot. Audio on the JVC really sucked. The Canon picked up everything on stage very well.

That's my 2 cents anyway.
