[MacDV] Canon DV

[Vtstream]

No..never thought of doing it that way . the drive is connected to the computer via 400firewire and the camera is connected to the computer using the other fire wire port. 
Is there any other way? I assume there needs to be software involved somewhere.

And do you attach the camera to the drive instead of the computer? That 
would not have occurred to me. I'd attach it to the computer and send 
the data to the external drive (not that I really know how to do that 
either). Is that an inefficient way to do it?
