Your video camera will be either Firewire (in which case you need a firewire download cable) or USB2 (obviously, in which case you need a USB2 cable). Since the appropriate cable is likely to have been included with your camera, all you should have to do is plug the camera in - BUT you then need some software to extract the video - with Firewire you can drive the camera through software, which makes things relatively easy. Windows XP comes with free video editing software (MovieMaker, which for some reason doesn't drive my camera though - thanks, MS!), so I had to resort to a commercial package which pulls the video off through Firewire and allows me to make screengrabs, etc etc - it's a basic Ulead package, but their stuff is very friendly. Not sure what format you'll get video off your camera in - if its raw video, it'll take up about 12-14 Gigabytes per hour(!!) unless it gets converted to a lossy format (e.g Mpeg-2 - the DVD format) first. If you want to edit your video its best to get video in raw format from your camera first - it's much better for editing than a lossy format which has already thrown some of the potential quality away.
It wasn't that long ago that I'd punch someone in the face when they pissed me off; now I just delete them from Facebook - that'll show the mother-fuckers...
