It differs from camera to camera, but using a USB cable and the software provided, it's fairly easy. The manual that came with the camera should have the instructions, but if you don't have it, go to the manufacturer's website and look for the manual for your make of camera there. You should also have a USB cable that goes with the camera if you wish to install it. You will need a driver for the camera, and that usually comes on a CD with the camera. Again, if you don't have this, look at the support section of the manufacturer's website for a driver for your camera model. If you have the CD or have downloaded the driver, I suggest you follow the instructions in the manual. However, if you cannot obtain the manual, plug in your camera to the USB port and turn the camera on. In XP or Vista, the found new hardware wizard will come up and it will look on the CD for the driver, or you can specify the location of the downloaded driver. The wizard will install it properly and you can start using it. The device should turn up in video capturing applications such as Windows Movie Maker.

Alternatively, if you have a DV port on your camera, a DV port on your computer, and a DV cable, you can capture video without installing it. All you need is a DV driver installed on your PC.

Is the digital camera screen bigger than a film-based camera?

Traditional film cameras do not have a screen since the image is recorded onto celluloid and can only be viewed once it has been developed - this process is largely absent of electricity and is a blend of physics and chemistry, unlike modern digital cameras. Digital cameras store the image digitally and almost instantly, meaning you can view the image on the screen. The aspect ratio on digital cameras can vary, so technically the shape and size of the image can vary between 35mm fill cameras and digital. This is particularly noticable when using a lens taking from a 35mm camera and using it on a digital camera. Film cameras provide a far better quality of image that digital photography cannot (realistically) emulate. However, digital is preferred because the ease of producing large images is fast and requires little expereince - unlike film based photography.
