Call Time Warner I have digital from Shaw in Canada Good picture no problems

alot of external usb drives have firewire and can be used with a good camera

Sony’s are by far the best cameras out there. They make a digital series that use 10 hour hard drives so there’s no tapes or CDs to carry around. You don’t have to worry about the format with final cut pro. Those things were an issue in the past but in this digital age things are very universal.

What every you do, DO NOT BUY A JVC.

I used and abused my sony for 3-5 years and nothing went wrong. I barely used my JVC and pretty much started dying in the first 10 months.

First you should know Premiere Pro CS3 support WMV, MPEG-1, or MPEG-2, so you just need a right converter to convert MP4 to WMV, MPEG-1, or MPEG-2, then you can edit your videos in Premiere Pro CS3. To convert any videos or audios between different format, you can try “RZ Video Converter Lite” which goes on well.

You can google or yahoo search and download “RZ Video Converter Lite”, easy to use, hope it can help you!

Yeah that is priced too expensive (and comes without a HDD), especially the shipping charges. It’s difficult to say, because no manufacturer is mentioned, nor the item number.

All I can suggest is to google search for:
3.5″ HDD Digital Video Recorder/Player DIVX/XVID/MP4/TV

Check for computer and electronics stores and compare.
Good luck. It looks like quite a find.
