I have a Mini DV camcorder that I got last Christmas, that I was told would be able to connect tom my PC. My camcorder, a Samsung SCD-353, did not come with any software for the camcorder itself, but it did give me a USB cable to hook it up to the computer with. However, whenever I try to get film from my camcorder to my PC, it does not recognize it, and I don't know what I'm missing here.. I have Ulead VideoStudio 9 SE DVD software installed, which is the only software my camera came with..Please help! )

Sounds like you need a driver. Perhaps you should try shutting down your computer. Connect the Camcorder, then start up again. Windows should install at least a generic driver for you.
