Sony DCR-HC38E should have an interface called 1394, or the firewire.
so you need to use a FireWire cable to connect it to your computer's firewire interface,
some laptops have it built-in,
If you don't have one on your computer, you can either purchase a IEEE1394/FireWire adapter, which should be under 100 or even $50.
Connector Type1.0 x Composite video/audio output , 1.0 x S-Video output , 1.0 x USB , IEEE 1394 (FireWire/i.LINK)
The first thing is to run a cleaning tape through the camera for 8-14 seconds and see if it remedies the situation. If not, the camera has a problem and will need to be repaired.
Connect your data cable with camcorder given for the Sony Handycam DCR-TRV280 Digital-8 Digital Camcorder.And connect the other end to the Computer.If any cd available handy cam its it also. Then you can find your videos in computer
Sony does not currently make an input adapter for connecting external microphones to camcorders.
However, Sony manufactures a number of different external microphones for camcorder use that do not require an input adapter. Depending on your camcorder model, you may be able to find a compatible external microphone from the Sony® Parts and Accessories Sales Center or Sony Style Web site.
NOTE: Not all camcorders have an input jack or Active Interface Shoe for connecting an external microphone.

Dear Tudi
I just wanna share lil-information about Sony camcorders that if its model number starts with CCD-XXXX, it means its analog camera and it doesn't have capability to connect to Computer by USB cord. If its model starts with DCR-XXXX, it means its digital camcorder and can be connected with Computer. In 1997, all camcorders were analog and there was no digital camera in market.
Sony's website says: "Some digital
camcorders must be setup to output a signal through the i.LINK® port
prior to being connected to a computer. Consult the instruction manual
of your camcorder for specific information before continuing with the
steps in this solution. Instruction manuals are available in the Manuals/Specs/Warranty section of the Sony® eSupport Web site.
Ensure the i.LINK cable is connected securely to the camcorder and computer.
Ensure the camcorder is turned on and being powered by the supplied AC power adapter.
Ensure the video capture card and software are configured properly to receive the i.LINK signal from the camcorder.
NOTES:
Depending
on the video capture card and software you are using, you may need to
manually configure the capture card and software to receive a signal
from the i.LINK port. If applicable, check the Help files of the software or contact the video capture card or software manufacturer for further information.
Sony®
digital camcorders are not provided with and do not require special
device drivers for i.LINK connectivity. The device drivers that allow
i.LINK connectivity should be provided with the video capture software.
If the software you are using does not appear to have the required
drivers, you will need to contact the software manufacturer.
Likely this is the case where the camcorder needs to be setup in order to connect to the Firewire port. This is done inside the menus. Windows XP and Windows Vista will detect a camcorder connected to a Firewire port automatically. Make sure your camcorder is powered up and configured before connecting it. Does your PC have a Firewire port? Many do not, PCI cards with firewire ports can be bought online or from local retailers. Some sound cards come equipped with one.
