You really need a firewire port if you are going to capture any video from your Sony. USB is too slow. You'll get something but it will be pixilated.

If money is no object, the best capture programs come with the best video editing programs - Sonic Video Vegas and Adobe Premier. These capture program allow video pass-thru where you can use your camcorder to capture from other sources as well (like a VCR). If you are just capturing the tape you have shot on the camera most any capture program will do.

Capturing in mpeg is faster but will give lesser quality. Best to capture in AVI and then do a good encoding to mpeg.

Sony's iLink is infact a normal firewire port, so yes, you can capture using this port. As for software, i either use Pinnacle Studio 8 or Ulead VideoStudio7 to capture from my camera, and then go from there!!

Hope this helps

have fun
