I now have new PC with Firewire port
At present I transfer from VHS analogue to PC via USB (Dazzle DVC)
Is it possible to transfer from VHS player to PC via Firewire instead of USB
I want to be able to Plug and play
Thanks
Steve

That Dazzle is an analog to digital converter. You would still need something that does that.
Do you have a digital video camera that might do a pass through?
I googled for a device that would connect via Firewire and there are several ranging from about $125 to $700. I don't know if they would work but they should. Perhaps someone else has one and can tell us the results of using it for capturing directly to DVD.
Have you considered a DVR/VHS recorder device and not use your computer at all?
