A. Hi Tristan, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
What fellow Y!A Contributor "Mmm J" says is accurate. The professional-grade Sony's don't come with any software, unlike the consumer Handycams that come with Sony's "Picture Motion Browser" (a/k/a "PMB").
And even though Sony offers free PMB software patches and upgrade downloads, you'd still need a factory PMB CD-ROM with the original version loaded on your PC for the upgrade to work.
A lot of laptops and older PCs don't have the required FireWire (DV, iLink, and IEEE1394a are all alternate names) port for transferring miniDV tapes for editing. If yours does have it, then you could use the free/built-in "Windows Movie Maker" that ships with recent Windows releases, to get started, using "capture" mode.
Other editing software is available that's either freeware or affordable to a consumer user. (Pinnacle, ULead, ArcSoft, and Sony Vegas are popular PC titles. If you have a Mac, then iMovie might be your best starter choice.)
The Apple "Final Cut" and Adobe "Premiere" titles that Mmm J mentioned are pro-grade and expensive, but offer free trial versions on their respective websites, as well as more-affordable "lite" versions ("Final Cut Express" and "Premiere Elements") that are worth looking at (again all have free trials available).
You've got the European/PAL-TV version of the HVR-A1, so make sure whatever editing package you choose has "PAL" (not "NTSC") settings and codecs/filters.
hope this helps,

does my flip camcorder need software ?
Q. i got my flip camcorder in december. it said it didn't need any addition software. but when ever i plug in the USB it just says "connected" and i can't do anything with it.
A. Once your camcorder is connected you have to open your editing software and go from there. If you use Windows Movie Maker (free with XP and Vista) be aware that WMM does not read all file types. Check your manual to see what your camcorder shoots in. To use WMM you might have to convert the video files first.
My advice is to buy some good editing software that works will all file types.
Files associated with Windows Movie Maker
Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf
Video files: .asf, .avi, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
