best canon digital video camera image

I recorded a soccer game on a Canon Optura XI digital video camera. The camera takes the mini DV tapes. I want to transfer it onto my computer in either a media player file or similar. How do I do that?

Answer
Hopefully your camera and computer have fire wire. USB is slow and quality is not good.First plug fire wire to computer and then to camera. Turn on camera and it should be automatically picked upped by computer.A window will pop up and give you a list of options of programs to use.Media player should be one of them.You can then record on to your computer and edit the video. Later on you can burn it to a DVD if you have a burner in your computer.

Can i turn a DVD Video file into a Regular Video file?

I have a Canon DC100 digital video camera that records via mini DVD-R and DVD-RW disks. Once the DVD is finalized, you can play it through your computer or DVD player. Although, its saved as some DVD file (im not sure what the actual file type is). Is there any way to turn these DVD files into regular Video files such as an AVI? It would also be more helpful if each recorded scene could be its own file.

Answer
Use a ripper like HandBrake.
