I have a canon ZR85, I have a firewire port on my computer,yet when I connect the camera to the computer, the computer does not find the camera. DV IN flashes on the LCD screen but nothing happens. I followed the instructions per the manual, it is becoming frustrating. I even went to Canon and they told me to send the camera back and they would see if they could find the problem, but the cost is anywhere from $200 up. I would like to transfer my videos to my computer. Anyone can help me it would be appreciated.

I also have a Canon ZR-- left of the lens and the built-in microphones, there is a small panel that opens to reveal several ports. The middle yellow one is the AV In/Out. You can plug in the cable that came with your camera. One end looks like a microphone plug, the other has 3 RCA type plugs- red, white and yellow. These get plugged into your VCR's OUT plugs on the back of the VCR. Place a tape in the camcorder, open the LCD panel and push the REC PAUSE button. On the VCR, press the Play button. When the tape reaches the point you want to begin recording, press the camcorder's Play/Pause button. When you want to stop recording, press the Stop button on the camcorder.
This is also detailed on page 82 of your manual, manuals are available online at Canon.com. Your specific manual is at: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=174&modelid=9739#DownloadDetailAct
Hope this helps.

You require a firewire cable and an application that can capture the footqge such as Windows Movie Maker.
