In my search to learn how to connect my digital video
camcorder to my pc, I keep reading about needing a
firewire or a card. If so, then I'm wondering why a USB
cable came with my camcorder. Could someone please
explain all I need to know. The only CD that came with
the camcorder, regarding installation, has to do with the
USB cable. I am so confused.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
 
The USB wont transfer video only pics, If you have a
digital camera then you will need the firewire card and
wire to read in video
 
You use what came with the camera. Different cameras can use serial,
parallel, USB or the newer Fire Wire 1394. Speed is what sets them apart.
