My work has a Sony DCR-PC110, and I want to use it to transfer some old family Super-8 films to DVD.
It's a sweet camera, but it doesn't seem to have a regular firewire (it has iLink) or USB 2.0.

In order to shoot video and then bring it to the PC to edit and burn to DVD, would I have to record it to the miniDV casette, and then record it to my PC using the VIVO port on my Nvidia GeForce Ti4200? Could I record directly to the PC using the VIVO port? Is iLink the same as firewire, and could I use that?

Does anyone have any experience in this, and can you offer me some advice? I would like to have the DVDs ready for christmas, and I would like to be able to get them done in a weekend without too many problems.

Thanks
