Is there a camcorder accessory for camcorders that are not automatically compatible with Computers?
I have a Sony Handycam that does not have a plug to connect to my PC (It's very basic). Someone told me that as long as my camcorder has the cables that can hook up to a VCR then there is sometype of cable I could purchase to make my camcorder able to upload videos to my PC. Does anyone know the name of this accessory? Also wanted to know if having Windows Vista is a factor I should be considering in finding the right product?
You should have mentioned the model. It is not possible to tell exactly what you need. But I think what you are looking for is a item named "camcorder station". You put the camcorder on the camcorder station, Then you can connect the station to your PC by using a usb cable - thus your camcorder will be connected to your PC.
To be confirm and get exacly what you need, you can visit sony's web site at "esupport.sony.com". You just give a search with the model name and you will get everything you need including the manual.

Check out this product. I think it's what you're looking for. It allows you to transfer from any video source with analog outputs into any computer with USB. I don't know if it will work with a Macintosh computer, though, since Mac's video editing program (iMovie) requires a Firewire import.

I don't believe that your camcorder does not have some sort of plug that will allow you to connect to your PC - if you tell us the make and type of your camcorder we can check out what connections you have
