How to transfer PC to DVDR890 & vice versa with Fire Wir

[quintus]

Got the Fire Wire connected DVDR890 to PC running WinXP.

Any special software needed to do transfer between the two?

Would the DVDR890 be able to perform just like a DVD Writer for the PC?

I used Pinnacle Studio version 9 (or 8) at the time when I was trasfering video from PC to Philips recorder. Select option make to "Tape". So I guess any software that can post video to MiniDV camcorder should be able do the task.
