This dvd recorder has a 194 connection, which I assume is an In for some
video camera. Is there anyway to use this firewire connection to connect the
dvd recorder to my laptop, which also has a 1394 connection, so that I can
transfer video directly to the laptop?

Right now I am burning to the DVD and then putting the DVD in the laptop to
do the transfer. Sure takes a long time, and the dvd burner is eventually
going to wear out. Any other way to get transfers if the 1394 won't work?
 
Most video cameras come with some kind of PC software to take video from a
1394 line if the camera is equipped to do deliver it that way. You have to
research that part on the camera you choose.
