Du finner nok hverken firewirekabel eller firewirekort i esken til kameraet, og USB-kabelen kan du like godt kaste..

Sitt bruk?

Med mitt kamera kan USB-kabelen bare brukes til å overføre bilder lagret på minnekortet.. Har heller ikke hørt om andre kameraer som støtter video (DV) via USB, men er åpen for at det kan ha vært ting jeg ikke har registrert

Ifølge denne posten http://www.freakforum.nu/forum/showthread.php?t=60686 så er det visst mulig men som det står, kvaliteten er ikke helt på topp

Many miniDV camcorders also contain a USB port. Some years ago, they were only used for transfer of pictures taken on a memory card. But newer models also can transfer video from the tape over USB and manufacturers advertise with it as "fast streaming video". However, the video signal over USB is transferred in VGA mode just like in webcams. The resolution of the image is limited and the video quality is much less than video transferred over Firewire. The reason for that is that USB is simply not fast enough for a reliable transfer of full size DV. This may sound a bit strange, because the maximum transfer rate specification of USB 2.0 (480Mbps) is higher than Firewire IEEE1394a (400Mbps). The issue is that for USB, the data transfer process is controlled by the PC's own processor, which is not the case with Firewire. The consequence is that in USB, the transfer rate will vary and will drop below what is needed for DV transfer.

Another issue of USB transfer is that a lot of video capturing software will not recognize camcorders connected over USB and you will need some special capturing software delivered with the camcorder.

Bottom line is that USB should not be used for high quality transfer; Firewire is the preferred method of transferring video from digital tape to PC.
