THE PICTURE IS FINE. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO TRANSFER THE SOUND ON TO VIDEO OR TELL ME THE BEST WAY OF TRANSFERING THE FOOTAGE .

You say that you have bought a DV lead. This is a digital link that is used to transfer to a PC or DVD recorder. To transfer to a video recorder you are working in analogue and therefore a DV lead will not work.
To transfer video from a camcorder to a VCR you need to use the relevant lead for the camcorder and on the end that goes into the VCR you will need either a scart plug or 3 phono leads. These should be coloured red & white for sterio sound & yellow for the picture.
Some camcorders will take a standard 3 phono lead, or others like my Sony take a jack plug with the 3 phono plugs on the other end. Dedicated leads like these are normally supplied with the camcorder.

Mark.
