Hook it up to a Firewire (i.Link or IEEE 1394A) port. If you don't have one on your computer, then consider buying one. Most video editing software have a "Capture" mode, and work with all Firewire devices, without additional drivers or other software.
Firewire is the cheapest and cleanest interface. Otherwise you have to resort to video capture devices (both USB and expansion cards). USB capture devices have a wide range of capture quality. Expansion cards will be more expensive than Firewire cards, although more versatile since you can also hook up VCR's and and other video devices. Both tend to need more powerful computers, since video conversion is very compute intensive.
EASY SOLUTION - Take your DCR-TRV340 to Best Buy and ask them for a "fire-wire" cable to fit your camera. Sony stopped supporting USB for this camera a long time ago.
When you hook up your camera with the fire-wire to Vista, at a minimum Vista will want to download your video. Whatever other video processing software you may have will also be shown by Vista...so you can use them or Vista. FIRE-WIRE will solve your problems!
this is usually a driver issue. check to make sure there isn't a new driver available from Sony. Make sure the power is NOT turned on until AFTER you plug in the firewire port.
