How do I get files off this Sony Handycam?

So, I'm at my brother's house and while my nephew is sleeping I figured I'd help my brother out with some video program he bought. The problem is I can't see how to get files from his camcorder, a sony handycam DVD92. It seems that the disks it uses and the DVD RW drive on his laptop don't work together. And I can't find a usb or firewire port on the camera. Am I missing something?

    I understood that those cameras made DVD Videos, and may not be viewable on a PC.

    There should be a FireWire plug though. Does the camera have a docking station? Some of the cameras put the connectors on a seperate dock instead of the camera to make it smaller (I guess).

    You have to finalize the disk. Then it will play on just about anything that will play a DVD.

    Look in the play options. or the Disk Set Menu, depending on the camera.

    This seems to have worked. Thanks!
