I have just purchased a Sony miniDV camera. At the moment I will be using a USB cable to trasport the media to my computer. I've noticed that everyone on the website recommends purchasing a firewire card rather than using USB. What I would like to know is why? What exactly does the firewire from of media trasport do that is so much better than USB? I want the best results. Somebody please clue me in this firewire stuff

firewire can handle a shitload more data, so you get full quality and it runs fast

I got mine at Walmart for $50 Cdn.

I was at a computer store and buddy said that there is a new USB that blows everything out of the water...

firewire transfers the video from the camera to your hard drive very fast, if you look at the wore, it is supercoductive and wrapped thick to get a lot of data really fast, it is the shizzy
