Status: offline 		Hi,

I have just purchased a Canon 850i digital camcorder. Although I can transfer stills and low resolution footage from the cameras SD mnemory card to my PC through a USB cable I can't transfer any video using this link. Is the firewire connection the only way to send digital video to my PC?

Thanks for any help

Lang

This information is very helpful and hopefully I can pick up the right Firewire card in the next week or so.

Also note how many pins are necessary on the camera, for the cable. Firewire generally comes with either a 6 pin to 6 pin cable, or a 6 pin to 4 pin. All cameras I have see use the 6 to 4.

I have purchased a firewire card and editing software (Pinnacle Studio Plus, Version 9.3.0) and have made some flying videos...excellent. But another question can anyone tell me what format is typically used for flying videos on the net?

With Studio 9 you can play with the frame rates when it comes to "Make Movie" time for higher or lower quality.
My stuff is all wmv except for whatever I plan to burn into a DVD movie. I save those in MPEG format for later in addition to the wmv streaming videos.

Status: offline 		Yeah firewire is the quickest and best way to transfer footage to the pc. If you have a realtime capture card in your pc, with rca connections, then you could capture the footage that way, this is however the expensive way, as realtime capture cards with analog inputs are quite expensive. I have also noticed that allot of sites are using MPEG format now

found this link to a do-it-yourself installation
not real difficult, i did get a grounding loop to protect my comp
static can damage the card & comp
