Hmmm JVC, I have one of thoose. You need a Firewire cable by the sound's of it. Then with that just use the PC to get the footage off. You need a big ass Hardrive. |

I thought it strange that it had a usb connection so i thought it might be a camera
1 port is all you really need. Chances are they camcorder has a 4 wire (small) connector and the pc card will have a 6 wire (big) connector so you'll need the right cable.
Theres one of the pc world site for 15 quid btw |

David, make sure your camcorder does have a firewire connector otherwise you'll be wasting your money. |

Ooh i didn't know that. I was under the impression that usb 2.0 didn't have the bandwidth capabilities for dv, despite the extra speed |

The bandwidth of USB 2.0 is almost the same as firewire 400, and I can see a standard pal resolution image using all that. |
