dont buy anything yet...Do you have on your laptop 1394 fire wire USB port?
1394 USB looks like that VO...
if it s a recent laptop then you should have it! If you have it, all you have to do is buy the cable (above pic) which connects directly from your laptop to your camera and then the software installed on it adobe or pinnacle will get the video for you and you could edit it and save your video in many options,low res, high res..etc...
Dont buy the software...I could give you a copy to EVALUATE
as for the cable try this:
