Firewire zots...I mean, thoughts...

[primsong]

We've had a Canon video camera for a little bit that we've never really used because we didn't have anything with the 'firewire' capability to get the blamed stuff off of the camera to someplace useful where we could play with it, like on a computer. Now we finally do - This means I need to learn how to use it after all - my dream eventually is to somehow, some way find out how I can record footage from old vhs tapes to play with.

Any of you have something like this? Any advice on what software to use for conversion, or for editing any resulting usable footage? Is it horribly complicated and full of pot-holes or understandable by a slow-learner (like me)?

No clue at all, but I could suggest researching at the Canon website itself, or maybe one of those sites like howthingswork.com . HTH!
