DVX100B and laptop

DVX100B and laptop I'm trying to import footage from my DVX100B to my laptop for editing. My lap top doesn't have a firewire port, just 2 USB 2.0 inputs and 1 USB 3.0 input and a HDMI port. Can anyone tell me what adapters or cables I need to import into my laptop? Can I import via the modular LAN port(ethernet)?

You need to put a promo on demo tape; and promote it for $5.00 on http://fiverr.com/ as a souvenir and ad.I will help!

I would definitely consider doing a bit more than just a talking head video. Try looking at campaigns on IGG/Kickstarter that have very little time left in their fundraising windows and still need lots of money - you'll see what works and what doesn't. Best of luck!!

Hi Natalie. If you're going to go the KS or IG route, I'd say your pitch video has got to pop -- as some have already mentioned on this thread -- that's the most important thing. If you're doing the K...
