The following instructions will work with any digital camcorder that has a Firewire port (including the TRV-310): To transfer digital video from your digital camcorder to your Mac, simply plug the camcorder into power, put it in playback mode, and use a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire (also known as IEEE 1394a, or i.Link) cable to connect the IEEE 1394 / i.Link port on the camcorder to the Firewire port on the Mac. Once connected, launch iMovie on the Mac, move the switch underneath the preview pane to the camera icon (in iMovie HD and earlier), and import the footage.

Which one is better for video capturing from miniDV camcorder DV card or TV card or USB?
MiniDV video is captured to a computer in real-time as it is played back on the camcorder. A Firewire DV card is by far the best to use, it was designed for video and has a vary high transfer rate, make sure your camera has firewire, a lot of time it is marked as DV out. You can also add a firewire card to your computer fairly easily. Search for 'PCI firewire card' for desktop computers and "PCMCIA firewire card' USB won't work because the transfer rate is not fast enough. Another option is to use a professional video transfer service. They use super high quality audio cables that connect miniDV decks to high quality video cards directly.
