I looked at the manual and the answer to the USB question is no. You can't transfer video from that camcorder to the computer via a USB connection. You can connect to the computer using a DV (firewire) cable - see p. 102 of the manual. If you computer does not have a Firewire port you could either add a Firewire card or get a converter to go between the camcorder and the computer and use the analog out (STV Stereo Video cable). As far as the memory card goes it appears as though it can only be used to store still images - see p. 103. Instructions for dubbing and editing start on p. 87.
Yeah I am under the proverbial FireWire incompatibility between windows 7 and FW devices so I am screwed there although I do greatly appreciate your information and answer to my question. Maybe do you have any other solutions to my issue? in other words any other way to get what is recorded on either the MMC card or Mini DV tape to my PC via some sort of adapter or interface?
Thank you very much again for all your help
