live.besttechie - Ralf asks when buying a digital camera is firewire or USB better? Typically, I recommend you buy a DV cam with firewire capabilities as today's cameras can store so much video, when transferring it using firewire would be much faster.

Henry M asked: "I have a Sony mini-DV handycam (model HC22E). It docks via a cradle which links to my PC via either USB or Wirewire. USB works (although quality is pitiful and there is no sound) but when I link using Firewire the computer does not recognise the camcorder. It just states that no device is connected. Can anyone help? If I need to check something is installed can someone give specific instructions on where to look? I am running Windows XP. Thanks!"
rmikecollins2 replied: "I bought a firewire lead and it found the camera immediately, and i was wondering how i was going to make them talk to each other but they just did.
My guess is that it's not supported
I suggest you contact the manufacturers of both the pc and the camera to check for support."
Martin S replied: "Your motherboard as to have the firewire socket if it doesn't then your board doesn't support this feature and will not work."
TiddiVisual replied: "Video Editing Process*
*CAPTURE video stream from vcam & Import files from pc folder, EDIT to make the movie as a project, FINISH (render) movie as a video file, and finally SAVE or burn to CD/DVD.
for starters, XP/Windows Movie Maker** (wmm) provides simple & easy way (& free) to learn the ropes- **click wmm help for details. For enhanced effects, buy SpiceFx by Pixelan.
After learning the editing tricks, you may later venture into other video editing programs - Premiere, Vegas, Pinnacle, Ulead, etc., accdg to skill level.
Steps:
CAPTURE VIDEO
a.) Connect vcam to pc via firewire cable (4 or 6 pin) for good transfer (USB can do but possible drop frames with effect on quality)
b.) Set vcam mode to playback desired video, then pause
c.) Open wmm and set to TASK PANE
d.) In the wmm/Task pane/CAPTURE VIDEO, click CAPTURE from video device. Wmm should now be able to control vcam operations. On play, video files are copied to wmm/Collection (usually several video files, although will not notice on vcam playback)
e.) Import also other desired files (video, pics, music, narration) from pc folder to wmm Collection
EDIT MOVIE
f.) wmm/EDIT: drag & drop captured video files one by one from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence
g.) Enhance/edit your video further if you wish: drag/drop other files (video, pics, music, narration, effects, transition); create subtitles, then, test to your liking (re-edit as you wish)
FINISH MOVIE (w/rendering)
h.) Save the video file to pc or burn to cd
i.) Save the project file (work-in-progress) for succeeding edits
Hope this helps…"
