The 1394 standard is the key to getting your video footage out of your camcorder and into your PC, with practically no hassle. First of all, FireWire's standard cables and connectors let you ditch all the "spaghetti" and odd-sized connectors you usually struggle with on your electronics equipment and PC.
Now for the really cool part. Video signals are sent through computer buses, the "toll-booths" on your PC that control the flow of data. With lightning-fast 1394 FireWire technology, you can send huge video files to your desktop editing system in an instant. And, FireWire data transport is isochronous, which means your data is guaranteed the bandwidth it needs to be sent to your PC all at the same time. There's no delay in transporting video frames, which can lead to stuttering, or jerky footage... your video will look as fluid as the day you shot it.
