Is there an alternate way to transfer video from my Sony Handycam to my computer?

The picture package software that came with my Sony DCR HC26 camcorder is not compatable with Windows Vista. I've looked for a patch on the Sony website to no avail. I am frustrated and desperate for another way to edit my video! Any suggestions would be appreciated.|||You don't need Picture Package to capture your video. The DCR HC26 is a MiniDV camcorder so you can use Windows Movie Maker or just about any other video editor. You'll need to capture the video via firewire rather than USB - if your PC hasn't already got one you'll need to install a firewire card. They're cheap, easy to install and readily available. You'll also need a firewire cable.
