Best way to capture video onto my computer?
What would be the best way to capture video to my computer? I take it there are better ways than through my onboard firewire door?
Thanks (: |

Well, the best way would be to use a miniDV deck, which will still use a firewire cable to feed into your computer. That saves wear and tear on your camera. They start at around $800, and have been discussed many, many times here before. Just do a search for "miniDV deck" using the search function and you'll find lots of info.
If you are looking for a better solution than Firewire, you could try sitting your tapes on top of your computer and letting it absorb the info through osmosis... :)

I'm assuming you are talking about the firewire on your computer?
Why are you saying there would be a better way? I've seldom seen a better working connection then that. It's pretty much plug and play and fully digital. What more could you want. A seperate DV deck will safe on wear and tear on your camera.
