How to transfer video files of a Sony handy cam onto my PC individually?

I have a Sony handy cam DCR-DVD705. To view the videos i record, i can either play the DVD on my computer or play it on TV via cable(provided with the handy cam). Of late I have started making videos and I would like to just take those videos from the DVD and copy it onto my computer. But its totally disgusting because everytime i make a new video i have to download the whole file onto my computer because how many ever videos you take , it is stored as one video file(i know its stupid). So is there any way i can get files individually or should i download the whole video just for the end part of it which was my last video taken.

P.S - I also tried finalizing the DVD but that didn't work. It just made a menu which makes it easy to watch which ever clip you want.

    Your camcorder came with a CD or DVD with programs for doing just that with your camera.

    Install those, get the latest updates from Sony, and then you'll be able to pick and choose which shots that you want to copy to your PC.

    If it's anything like my Sony DCR-DVD305, the program is called "PicturePackage".

    If you lost the disk with the software, you'll have to contact Sony for a replacement. They don't provide the software for download :-S
