Firewire or USB 2.0?
With Firewire, the peripherals talk to each other, start the data transfer then let it rip. USB requires the processor to be a traffic cop for every data packet.

Pasting Text to Credit Roll
Don't use MS Word. You are looking for a complex solution to a simple problem. Use a text editor that inserts hard returns at the end of each line.

5.1 - How Deep Is The Water
I have a very valid use for the on-camera mic. To sync my "clap" at the start of the roll. After I've synchronized my real audio, the on-camera audio track goes away. Steve

OT Warning--> Western Digital
You're in the wrong century if you think 600Mb is big. But, Hitachi will be marketing a 1Tb drive by the end of next year. Actually, somone has to hold the "unreliable" trophy once in a while. Just a few years ago the IBM 60Gb "Deathstar" (actually the Deskstar Model) experienced a six-percent failure rate - very high for hard disks. The 70Gb Deskstar had a less than 1% failure rate, but IBM couldn't give them away. Fry's was selling them for $50 with manufacturer's rebate. I suspect that this was one of the reasons that IBM sold its isk manufacturing division to Hitachi two years ago. Steve

OT: Camcorder mike "crackling"
Tape speed makes absolutely no difference. It's the same digital data.
