• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I have a 15" 2.6gHz MBP, Sony TRV-11, and a 1TB G-Tech Raid0 HD. What is the proper FW chain? Camcorder into the Ext HD (using FW400) then the Ext HD into the MBP (using FW800)? Thanks in Advance!

why not camera into mbp (fw400) and then external into mbp (fw 800) otherwise camera into hard drive, hard drive into computer is the only other possibly way.

Will it be slower to do it that way or it won't make a difference? The ext HD is my scratch disk so that's why I thought to hook the camera right to ext hd.
