Firewire or USB2 for video capture

[matt526]

I have a PV-GS150 Camcorder with USB 2 out and IEEE 1394/firewire out
what would be the best way to send the DV to my computer. Most capturing software will let me use USB2 but WINDV will only use the DV out pin on my camcorder.

any thoughts?

Anything?

Try both and see which works best for you?

well I don't have a firewire port on my computer
so I wanted to see if it is worth buying a firewire PCI card

Firewire if possible. It's faster, and allows you to control your camera via the software's controls.
