Because A College Education is NOT Enough Sometimes...

Or most of the time? OK, so Jim and I (without really consulting the owner's manual for our camcorder..ahem...because I don't know where it is...) are hoping someone could tell us how to save video files to our computer from the DVD from the camera. I've searched our computer's help section forever. I can of course play the DVD- now how do I save the video so I can upload it to blogger? I realize this is probably a really easy thing to do and I'm missing it. I need to eventually figure this out- so could someone much more knowledgeable than me just tell me what to do?? Thanks. If no one comments I'm going to just cry, or wait for Jim to come home so he can figure it out.
