"ImageMixer enables you to capture both still pictures and movie scenes a digital video cameras connected to the IEEE1394 port of your computer. "

I have a digital camcorder (Digital tape type) and I want to save parts of tape to the computer. It came with software , Pixala Image maker, but I wondered if anyone could give me some advice.
The camers is USB compatible

IEEE1394 is the "Firewire" interface. Macintoshes have it as standard, I think. ;-)

With only USB I think you can only get images from the camera.

I always thought there was a simple 1394 - USB adapter... so I'm probably wrong there..
