No, but I have read it can happen. Unlike CRT burn-in, it is a
temporary situation. There are utility programs that can chase it away
sooner.

Well FW is the best because it exists on many HD cams, so obviously you need
that if you are transferring data from an HD cam. But to say this
translates to FW being faster is incorrect.
