    My Sony TRV 480 has both USB2 and i link capablity
    I used the USB2 to transfer and it looks/sounds great ( Windows Movie Maker to capture)
    However most "authorities" recommend an ilink to capture video.
    Is ilink superior to USB2 ?
    I dop not have a firewire card or I would perform the comparison myself

    Thanks

    got an answer from Sony: ilink has greater bandwith and less compression than USB2 ( 720x480 pixels vs 352x240 pixels)
    Guess firewire wins
