I have 3 cameras and all are over 500.00 in value one is actually 2999.99 but I want to be able to transfer it to my computer and edit so I can make profesional videos well low buget but still professiona. I have video express but when I use that when it goes to my computer it keeps the battery bar and everything on the video and that makes it not even youtube ready. I just want to be able to transfer from my camcorder to computer without firewire because I don’t know how to use the firewire connection and I like the usb. 1 of my camcorders can’t even use the video express so how will I just use the USB to transfer the videos. Thanks for any answers.

if you are going to write dvds and do editing on the videos you film, you are going to have to learn to use a firewire card. USB is for transfering photos, not video. It can do it, but you lose frames which results in poor quality. Buy a firewire card, they are cheap and buy some good capture/edit software like Nero 6 (also cheap) and read the help files and manuals and learn to do use them.

hmm…i’ve encountered that problem before. it turns out that the "display" setting on my sony camcorder was set to v/out-lcd, which meant that whatever was on the lcd would appear in the video out signal.
as for using usb. i once saw a firewire to usb cable. though i don’t know how effective that is. or if it even works.
hope this helps.
