What is firewire - where do you get it and how?

FireWire (technically known as an IEEE 1394 interface) is an interface developed by Apple that allows you to plug peripherals such as video cameras into your computer. Most Macs come with a FireWire interface, some Windows PCs have fireWire built in or they can have it added by adding a FireWire card. Some manufacturers adopt their own name for the IEEE 1394 interface; Sony, for example, call it an iLink. If you have a camera, or some other peripheral, with a FireWire interface it will have come with a FireWire cable which you plug into your computer to allow the two to connect so you can transfer your video/images from the camera to the computer.

Do you use firewire or USB to plug a video camera into a computer?

It depends on the camera. Digital cameras will have either a Firewire or a USB connector and some have both. If the camera has both, it is likely that either can be used to transfer video to a computer although some older cameras used Firewire for video transfer and USB for still image transfer. It is always worth checking the camera's manual to find out the functions of the data ports.
