iMovie works with video in DV format. The only way to transfer this is via Firewire. The USB port on the camcorder is probably to transfer still images (some video cameras can also make still images that are stored in a little card, rather than tape, and can be transferred via USB). If you want digital video, then Firewire is the way to go. Luis -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
