[Ti] iMovie

[Wilhelm Wanders]

hi pam,

your camcorder does have a firewire connection. usually they ship 
without the appropriate cable though (mine did too) ...
the usb cable is only to transfer the pictures or other media from the 
sd card/memory stick or other type of media holder to the computer. it 
is supplied with the camcorder (mine was too) ....now why they do 
supply the usb cable and not the firewire cable is beyond my knowledge 
....
get a nice firewire cable that fits the connections - there are some 
sources online, but you should also be able to get it in any electronic 
store out there - do buy cheap, but take a look at the quality,since 
you don'twant frames to be dropped during transfer from cam to 
computer.
check your manual for the location of the IEEE 1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) 
port.

hope that helps :)
