Hi,
If your laptop has DV / IEEE1394 port then connect camcorder by IEEE1394/ DV cable to get its video playback digital signal and save it on laptop.
In my opinion, easiest way is to hook camcorder with stand alone dvd recorder either by DV cable or Audio Video analog cable and burn dvd in dvd recorder directly, then put that dvd in computer/ laptop to edit it.
Below image shows DV Port in camcorder, click
HERE to download free user manual copy of
VP-D10 that has more info about camera operations along with cable accessories info.
Hope these info will help you.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.
