Nick,

You will need a firewire connection to your PC to trasfer videos to your PC. The USB connection on the camera is only for stills.

WOW thanks Nick! I am glad the videos I have shot and uploaded here have helped. I still love my HV20 and use it everyday. If you have and questions or need help just ask. Enjoy your camera and upload some samples when you get some.
