Canon ZR200, DV Question

I have a canon ZR200 camera and windows vista ultimate. I am running into a problem.

I can transfer pictures via the memory card and usb link.
I can transfer video off the memory card via the usb cable.

When the camera is switched into tape mode it doesn't show up on windows as a device, also when using windows movie maker I have a dazzel capture device. When I try to record movies it shows no video input error. Ok


So my question is if I get the dv cable will that allow me to import video off the tape?

Thanks

Sure will, USB doesn't support video streaming via the tape, I think (not positive) it uses IEEE 1394, you'll need a firewire port on your PC to use the DV cable, but it will work.
