To transfer the recordings from your Samsung SC D353 Mini DV tape to your computer, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Connect the camcorder to your computer: Use a FireWire (also called IEEE 1394) cable to connect your Samsung SC D353 Mini DV camcorder to your computer. Most computers have a FireWire port, but if yours doesn't, you can purchase a FireWire adapter card. 2. Turn on the camcorder: Turn on your Samsung camcorder and set it to VCR mode. 3. Open the video capture software: On your computer, open the video capture software that came with your operating system (e.g. Windows Movie Maker, iMovie on Mac) or a third-party video capture software (e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro) that supports Mini DV tape. 4. Start recording: In the video capture software, select the option to capture video from a DV device. Click the Record button in the software and then press Play on the camcorder to begin playing the Mini DV tape. The video should be captured and recorded onto your computer. 5. Save the video: Once the video has been captured, you can edit it if necessary and then save it to your computer in the desired format.
Note: If you do not have the original video capture software, it is recommended that you search and download compatible software before beginning the transfer process. Additionally, make sure your computer has enough storage to store the transferred files.
It is not required to use any driver or software to transfer videos from the Camcorder to the Computer.
Once you connect the Camcorder to the Computer, you will get the DVD disc in the Camcorder as an additional drive under My Computer.
You can find the Video_10 folder under the drive and copy it to the Computer to transfer the videos.
However, there are some occasion, computer may ask driver when connecting the Camcorder.. It may be due to genuine driver incompatibility..
In these type of situation, you can finalize the disc in the Camcorder and insert it in the CD/DVD drive on the Computer to transfer the videos.
You can use any software which you used to playback the commercially produced discs to playback the videos from the disc.

I had this problem also when trying to connect to my HF200. I found a solution. The DVD recorder does not like MXP recordings, in fact it hates them. You will have to make sure no MXP recordings are present on your SD card/Hard drive. Then any recordings you make with the intension of recording to DVD need to be made in FXP mode or below. But remember if you have a selection of recordings on your SD/HD and just one is in MXP mode, you will get the error 'Operation cancelled'.
Just as a sidenote, I phoned canon support about this problem, they were useless, promised me a callback that I never got!
hi there,it seems u have not installed the software onto your computer. just install the software for your camcorder with the help of a CD that u might have recieved along with the it. then plug it through USB and its ready to transfer the videos. good luck and do not forget to rate this solution. thanks for using FixYa
Hi! If you go to the Canon, they have a trouble shooting section. I copied and pasted some information below. Good luck!

How do I transfer video tape recordings to a computer via Firewire? Solution:
Transferring video recordings to a computer ZR80, ZR85, and ZR90
Transferring Video Recordings to a Computer
You
can transfer recordings to a computer using the IEEE1394 (DV) terminal.
With the ZR85 and ZR90 transferring video recordings via USB is not
possible.
Before starting the video transferring, make sure to prepare the following:
A
computer equipped with a IEEE1394 (DV) terminal or a IEEE1394 (DV)
capturing board (the IEEE1394 protocol is frequently also called
"Firewire" or "iLink").
A DV cable (sold separately)
Video Editing Software
You
can use (1) the video editing software that came bundled with your
computer or video capturing board, (2) the video editing software
included with your operating system ("Windows Movie Maker" with Windows
Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP and Windows ME,
"iMovie" with Mac OS 9 and later), or (3) video editing software
purchased separately, with features ranging from very basic to very
sophisticated.
The appropriate driver
A
driver is included with Windows operating systems later than Windows 98
Second Edition and Mac operating systems later than Mac OS 9. The
driver is installed automatically when you connect the camcorder to the
computer. No additional driver is necessary or available.
Start your computer. (If
this is the first time you are connecting the camcorder to your Windows
based computer your computer will display the "New Hardware Found"
message while the driver is installed automatically.)
Set the camcorder to mode.
Connect
the camcorder to the computer with the DV cable as shown below. Once
the camcorder and computer are connected together the camcorder will
display "DV IN" on the LCD/viewfinder. This message confirms that the camcorder is ready to receive or transfer video.
Refer to the instructions for your video editing software to download your video from the camcorder. Note:
Because procedures for digital editing software applications vary
greatly, Canon cannot offer any additional support or suggestions
regarding downloading and editing your video. Please refer to the
software publisher or your computer manufacturer (if the software came
with your computer) for assistance in using the software.
Operation may not work correctly depending on the software and the specifications/settings of your computer.
If
the computer freezes while you have connected the camcorder, disconnect
and reconnect the DV cable. If the problem persists, disconnect the
interface cable, turn off camcorder and computer, turn camcorder and
computer back on and reconnect them.
Before connecting the camcorder to the computer using a DV cable, make sure that camcorder and computer are not connected with a USB cable, and that no other 1394 device is connected to the computer.
We recommend powering the camcorder from a household power source while it is connected to the computer.
Refer also to the instruction manual of the computer.
The
programs ZoomBrowser EX and Image Browser included with the supplied
CD-ROM are intended for use only with images recorded on the memory
card.
Video recordings on the tape cannot be transferred to the computer using the software included with the supplied CD-ROM.
your cd is only contained with driver and applications.
you can still transfer your recordings to your pc all you need is a driver to recognize your computer whats been plug by a usb. as for the application you can still download it from any other website. you didnt include the exact model of your camcorder and for that i cant post for the matter of incompatibily. hope that helps!
I use Pinnacle Studio Suite. It works really good with Canon. Once the DV cable is plugged in and you turn it on Windows will pop up the option right away to work with Studio.
