Thanks, Dave

Circuit City here I come for a firewire card & cable. I'm still left
wondering why Sony provide USB software that doesn't work but it's a mystery
I can live without solving. I'll see if the Ulead software I've downloaded
recently will do what I want once I have the firewire in place unless anyone
has any better ideas.

Cheers - John

PS - I still don't think it is polite to call a complete stranger an idiot
but I'll let it go.
