USB connection will allow still photos ONLY to be capture to a computer.
To capture the footage from the tape you will have to connect with a firewire cable, also called iLink or IEEE1394a.
Windows Movie Maker will be one program that can capture the footage.
Hi in order to get footage off your camera through Firewire i.e DV you will have to use a software to capture the footage. You can use iMovie to capture the footage off the camera. Open Apple System Profiler (it's in the Utilities folder) and check to see if your camera appears in the FireWire section.
If your camera is connected via FireWire and is turned on, follow one or
more of these tips to re-establish the connection to the camera.
Turn the camera off and back on again.
Disconnect
the FireWire cable from your computer and reconnect it. Do the same at
the camera as well. If the camera is connected through a FireWire hub,
try connecting the camera directly to the computer.
Some cameras need to be set to "VTR", "VCR", or "DV" mode in order to
communicate with a computer. Check your camera's documentation for
information on how to set your camera to this mode if needed
To get your footage into the computer from DV tape you need a four pin firewire (IEEE1493 or iLink) cable from the camera to a six pin cable into the computer. USB will not do a proper job, it's for downloding photos or as you already mentioned, Web caming.
I am using Windows movie maker on Windows XP with a firewire link.
I have reloaded the driver for the camera and tried it on other editing progs too
