Are you on crack?!

You can transfer *small* mpegs for emails that are low quality and small file size.

It does USB streaming so it can act as a web camera but you do not transfer real DV by it.

That model has a Firewire in/out. Get a Firewire card for your pc. It will have some form of software or you can use Premeire to control it. Then just set the software to transfer the video.

This is of course if you don't have a Firewire card already. If you are confused its also known as *iLink* from Sony. Same as Firewire though.

is it possible to transfer Digital video (DV file ) to computer with USB cable because i don't have fire wire card and fire wire cable . And what software should i use to do that?

In a single word: NO

Uncompressed DV file is about 1gb per 10minutes I think, not sure. Firewire is 400mbps. USB is 10mbps. It would take HOURS AND HOURS to do it by usb. Far too slow.

A firewire card is pretty cheap now a days and so is the cable.

Above assumes camera and usb interface are v1.1--which is very likely; If, however, they are both v2.0 (High speed) USB is also in the 400Mbps range.

He stated the model of his DV Camcorder. DCR-PC105. Thats a few models back, the current being the DCR-PC120. Then theres the DCR-110 inbetween. They are all USB 1.1. All on 10mbps. Not aware of any USB2 enabled DV Camcorder but if there is then yeah he could use that but he doesn't have that camcorder.......
