RE: Video easy HD

Hi Normally you connect the camera to the computer with a Firewire cable to a Firewire interface on your computer. Video Easy should be able to record the video. Panasonic do say you can transfer via USB but I suspect they have a piece of

Thanks, John, Appreciate your quick response. Don't know why Sony refers to this as a digital camera. I do have a firewire connection to my computer but the camera docking station only has USB or AVI. Do I need a special

RE: Connection of DV Camera through external harddrive

Hi It is not advisable to daisy chain Firewire/USB through the Lacie as you will suffer data transfer rate problems. USB is inherently slower than Firewire, each USB hub has a potential of 480Mb/s (you never achieve this in reality)

RE: Downloaded free trial of Movie Edit Pro MX - problems with USB connection to Sony DCR-HC46

RE: Connection of DV Camera through external harddrive

Thank you! So I can´t daisy chain the camera - lacie - pc? This is how I captured footage on a Mac before. I might have to get a usb-firewire adapter then to connect the camera via fire wire directly to the pc.

RE: Connection of DV Camera through external harddrive

Your DV-camera must be connected with Firewire-cable to your PC, and the LaCie with USB to the PC. Clic "Y" (Program settings) in MEP, and under Path settings, define a folder on the ext. drive and transfer the video with the PC. The MX Plus
