How to change Sony Handycam digital format to a format which can be edited with all video softwares?

Whenever I try to import video from my sony DCR-SR82 camcorder to some of the softwares (Windows media maker / Pinnacle Studio etc.), it shows unrecognizable format!

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….
Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don’t come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder. Make sure your camera is in playback mode.
The fine print in your manual makes reference to firewire (ieee 1394) connection.
