    Are you talking about just Mini-DV stuff? Or the HD as well?

    For SD Mini-DV firewire, I wouldn’t recommend using a Canon camera. Don’t know if it’s a universal problem with Canons, but the three that I’ve captured with in the past (XL-1, XL-2, and a ZR-60, I believe) hog your firewire bus so that you can’t capture to a firewire drive unless you buy a firewire PCI card to get a second bus. I believe that other brands won’t give you this problem.

    If you’re talking about HD from the H1, I’m not going to be able to help you.

    HV20 would do it. I’ve been using it AND capturing to a firewire drive. No problems.
