yah because you can not transfer raw dv from cam to pc with USB

from pc to external drive, yes, usb2 works as good as firewire in that situation

I use it for my video camera as well... it works much like a USB, except that it's way faster. USB 2 will allow some video to transfer, but not much.

Firewire will stream it steadily into your PC.

Man I'm so behind. I don't think any of my notebooks have any Wirefire port in them, luckily I don't do any video transfers...

Firewire for all DV digital imports, and USB2 for pretty much everything else.

I am using a 250GB lacie firewire drive on my laptop and my other machines at home when I am there
Firewire is faster than USB 2 I think, I use it for DV camcorder as well.
I had my XP machines linked by TCP/IP over Firewire link before but I didn't notice it was any faster than 100mbps ethernet.

for Pyro/AV link ... Video capture/transfer

I transfer video to my pc all the time using a USB device. It is just family video.

Barefootsies · 01-15-2006, 04:42 PM

I use it for the DV camera transfers. Although some of my Ext HD's could use it, I generally have them USB2. They still are nice and fast.

But mainly cam to PC video is the application for firewire.

That's all we use to digitize our video for editing in the Avid's.
