Hello again, I do not have a firewire port in my PC, and Eyesweb does not seem to recognize my Sony PD170 or Sony HDR-CX100 plugged into a USB port nor my built-in webcam. Has anyone had any success with USB ports (not firewire)? If not, would there be a way for the patch to get video signal from a USB port? Many thanks. Opie
