Though you can do it through USB, the quality will not be good. It is better to use Firewire. If your Mobo does'nt have a Firewire port, buy a good PCI Firewire card and cable. Such cards usually come bundled with video capture SW like Ulead, which is far better than Picture Package of Sony. You can get even better SW from firms like Adobe but at high prices.
