I've got a 4 or 5 year old minidv insult that Panasonic calls a camcorder. In the distant past, I'd import to my dad's XP desktop via firewire, but now I've got a new laptop without firewire, with there apparently being a huge NO non ridiculous way to go firewire to USB. But aparrantly s-video ,which both my camera and laptop have, is OK. I was hoping you could recommend the name of the cord I'd need, and whether or not Vegas would automatically detect it as if with firewire (This is v7 for XP, running pretty well in compatibility mode under Vista).
Thanks!
