Can I use my camcorder's USB port to save my 48 minute movie?

[Guest]

I'm trying to save my 48 minute movie to my Panasonic DV camcorder via the
USB port on the camera. I have two problems:

1. Movie maker tells me that I don't have enough memory on the temporary
storage device C: to save the movie. I have nearly 8 GB of free space on the
C: drive.

2. I have the camera cabled to the PC via USB. I can capture video but I
can't save the movie via USB. Do I have to purchase a fire wire card and
cable? Also, my camera only has a USB and a DV jack. Is there any way to
reconfigure it to produce firewire output?

Thanks,

Brian

The DV jack on your camcorder is firewire. Yes, you'll need to purchase a
PCI firewire card and cable for your PC.

..... and with DV being 13 GB per hour, Movie Maker is right about you not
having enough free space
