you can't capture dv from a usb port from the camcorder, that's just for downloading the stills or streaming compressed video from your camcorder

This is correct.

For professional, use premier

Best would be Premier 1.5 as 6 crashes a lot.

Pick up a firewire card from your local tech store. They are all of $20 or so bucks. You will be in luck if you run on XP, but if you are on another system (like I was) then you might have to track down drivers.

adobe premiere using your firewire connection. I've tried lots of other programs and nothing else compares.

Amen. Nothing quite like it. Also make sure you get the DivX or Xvid drivers or software add on. Makes a huge difference in quality, and sizing down the files!!!

if you don't have firewire you will need to use the rca jacks on the camcorder and capture in real time through a rca IN on your computer

Correct.
And make sure you have a ton of RAM, and storage space because if you are editing your own website's videos, you will need to make sure and back up to originals (before conversions) just so you are not tracking down tapes, and so forth later if you mess up or go to convert to something else.
Good luck!
