I am totally new to creating DVD movies from home video's. I have a sony handycam with IEEE port and for the first time the other day I connected it to my PC. Windows detected the camera no problem. I started the process of copying the video to my hard disk. It was going ata speed of 1X. I was very surprised, and am wondering is this normal? I would have expected it to be alot faster...after all I kept hearing that IEEE is faster tham USB...so what is the point of having faster if i only goes at 1X speeds?

Sorry...but as I said..totally new to this sort of stuff.

PS. I then had to convert the file using NeroVision to DVD format to burn to DVD and play it in my DVD player. I was successful in the end...it just took a very long time. Perhaps thats just how slow video editing hs to be???
