I recently purchased this camcorder and is wondering if its possible to send a live feed from the XL2 to my PC via S-Video. Ive tried to use the firewire connection however Im having a hard time getting the 1394 port to stay inside the XL2. After 6 months of dealing with the 1394 port loose. Somehow the XL2 stop working. We called Cannon and they said we fired the circuit board via the 1394 port in the XL2. We've been using the 1394 port so we can display Easy Worship on the two projector screens we have in service. Now that Cannon said they wont replace my XL2 again. Im wondering can I use the S-Video port in the back of my PC, instead of my firewire connection. Also if not is there a third party software or device that we can use. Also is there a easier way to get my footage straight to DVD.
