Capture video

Hi,
Trying to capture video from newer JVC camcorder to new Dell w/ Sonic software.
PC doesn't recognize the camcorder as a source using the USB ports.  Not sure why, I've read on these boards that firewire connection is preferable(?)... I have a IEEE connector on the cam, haven't checked the PC yet, may have to add that card.
Is IEEE prefered over USB? Why? or why not, or comparable?
 
Also, maybe the Sonic doesn't capture because everything needs to be turned on in some specific order, which I have not seen anywhere.
 
Thanks very much.

    My new Dimension 4700 doesn't recognize my CANON ZR200 using the USB ports either. DELL swears its the cable or the camera. Make sure the connection switch on your camera is set to card instead of video. If it still doesn't work try connecting to another computer. Read the instruction book. If it still doesn't work with another computer its probably something sent by the camera or the cable (very unlikely) is bad.
