1. Firewire
2. Yes, it can be used standalone
3. No
4. No, but wish I had befor I wasted $300, b/c it doesn't do what it claims
5. Yes, any DV software is supported.
6. NO, it just converts the signal

That being said, DON'T BUY THE DAZZLE - It's has a horizontal syn problem if you use the composite video
input. I've read a review (http://www.insanely-great.com/reviews/dazzle.html)
that said the problem didn't occur when using SVideo inputs. However, the problem was also
resolved for the author by cycling through the mode button on the unit. This didn't work for
me. Dazzle claims it only occurs with poor quality tapes on Macs only. Well I used a good
quality new tape with a dell 700MHz PIII & I have the same problem.

It may be that you do not experience the problem with S-video inputs but why not buy the
Sony DVMC-DA2 instead for $349.99 for J&R instead (1800-221-8180, item# SON DVMCDA2).
It's in the same price range & won't have the H-sync problems.
