SO know I am really lost. LOL
So I can use the USB port instead of the firewire. Obviously its slower, but if its just a matter of minutes I am not to worried about it. But if we are talking dial up vs cable speeds then I will get one.
I just need someone to tell me what exactly to get.
Thanks for the help and patience
No problem at all, plain old usb is roughly 12 mbps or 1 megabyte per second, usb 2.0 is about 40 times faster at 480 megabits per second which is roughly 50 Megabytes per second. This is on par with firewire. So in the case of uploading video the wait is considerably longer with regular usb.
USB 2.0 or firewire will upload much faster and with less dropouts.
