does the camera have a built in hdd or does it use dvd discs?
if its got a hdd then you will have to connect the usb for the camera to your computer. the computer will then install the driver software for the camera. when that is complete you should get an autoplay menu on your screen. select access files and folders and you should see all your videos and pictures displayed there. now just a matter of copying and pasting to your another folder on your computer. pretty straight forward.
same process goes for the dvd except you may have to go to my computer, right click on the d: drive and select open files. copy and paste from there to your computer.
if you have problems with this please let me know and i will assist in anyway possible

The number should be on the bottom of camera on silber plate, or if not just in-side the media area when door opens.
