The XL-1 can easily record via firewire as well as the XL-1s. I have used an XL-1 several times to get video into and out of a computer via firewire. And, you can dub between two XL-1 cameras as well. You just don't have the automatic start/stop controls of the newer XL-1s."
I can understand how 2 xls1's can connect up and transfer but I'm not sure how to transfer back from the computer to the XLs1S .I was told to use adobe affect effects to create graphics and thats fine but when you place the XL1S in the vcr mode the view finder says DV In ,so how do get the signal to go from adobe affer effects to the xl1s.On e one thread someone stated you have to use s-vga or composte to bring graphics in to the camera

Well from premiere, and vegas video, you can either print to tape to bring it back to the camera, or simply set the playback settings to tv, then it outputs the signal down the firewire, into the xl1s then from that onto the tv.

Also, the camera must be in VCR mode (and you *may* have to manually press the Record button).
