usb or firewire

[kyleb]

i want to use my hvx200 as a p2 card reader. any comments on whether to use firewire or usb to capture footage ? i saw a thread on this once but i can't find it. i know this is an old question.

thanks !!

firewire has a consistent data transfer speed, and usb doesn't. I always use firewire for any video stuff.

is either better to reduce capture noise ?

If you're running a PC you can only use USB.

Capture noise?

USB or FW connect modes facilitate the mounting of the cam and copying of p2 volumes to the computer.

There isn't noise involved in the transfer.

yeah, neither one has ANY effect on video quality.
