Do you use firewire or USB to plug a video camera into a computer?
Sk8brdngdude
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.

How do you get videos from a Sony handycam video camera onto your computer?
There are a couple of ways to do it. If the camera is a DV camera, it will have a firewire connector as its digital video output. Older cameras will normally just have an analog video and audio output. First, the computer needs a firewire interface (also known as a 1394 interface) or a video capture card. Many new computers have firewire already installed but few will have an analog video capture card. Both interfaces can be bought as add ons. Once the interface is installed, video capture software is needed to ingest the video signal. Depending on the software package, it will be imported as AVI, for uncompressed storage that is good for editing or MPEG, for archiving with smaller file sizes. Other programs will allow the video to be written direct to a DVD.
What cable do you use to hook up a video camera to a laptop to edit video?
Most newer cameras come with USB ports and cords to match. You might ask someone who is familiar with computer cords if your camera has a USB port, and what size plug it takes. USB ports on computers are all the same size. Also, take a look in your camera manual, or you could take it to a shop that sells equipment and find out there.

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.
