hey thanks for all that - just a couple of questions... The mac I've got is a superdrive powerbook that has 400 and 800 firewire and 2 hi-speed USB 2.0 ports. Sorry to be dim, but is the card (firewire or USB) something I need regardless of these ports - or is there a firewire that goes straight from the camera to computer?
As for iView Media - I think I've already got that and can just install it on the mac - cheers. Thanks very much, Becky > Firewire is a lot faster than USB.
