What kind of video editing software can you use for a gl1 camcorder?
I have a canon gl1 camcorder and i was wondering if there is any software you can use (i you even can) to edit videos and such.

Pretty much any half decent video editor can handle standard definition DV format digital video. Even MovieMaker (bundled with Windows XP – SP2 or newer – including Vista).
You need a firewire cable to connect the DV port of the camcorder to the firewire port on the computer. USB won’t work. USB to firewire converter/adapter/hub/cables won’t work.
If your computer does not have a firewire port, hopefully it has an available expansion slot so you can add one.
In this context, firewire, IEEE1394, i.LINK and DV are all the same thing… and they are not USB.
With the minDV tape based camcorder connected via firewire, power up the camcorder and put it into Play or VCR mode. Launch the video editor and Import or Capture the video.
