The camera supports USB2.0, so it should give basically equal video as you get with Firewire. However, firewire is still my prefered method of editing. How does the original video look before you render it and chage formats?

its not that great before i change formats, but definetely gets worse.
but looks alot worse than when i watch it on my camera, i was hoping that firewire would bring that quality with the video when i used it.

brinky- thanks for the info!

Firewire on the camcorder will look like this

You will then need to install a PCI firewire card into the computer

You will then need a firewire 4 pin to 6 pin cable

You will need some editing software, such as pinnacle or adobe premiere.
You can obtain these by your own means, but they are avaliable on newegg.

I hope this helps
