man read b4 u start spuing **** ... heh

its MiniDV .. meaning Digital Video .. it doesnt mean that the MPG file sits on the cam ..its still a tape .. so the only way to get it off is to play it back and record it on ur PC ... now if i was to use the firewire cable and controll it with software .. it would bascially play back and everytime the footage stopped it would make a splice and so on and so on ....

old *** technology my *** ... its fairly new

nope ... cause if i use firewire i could press play .. and the software + minidv capabilities would have it all chopped up and ready by time i came back ... its not 1 continuious movie .. it gets cut up into scenes as the movie stops ...
