Yes, 1394 card is mandatory. currently USB1.0 standard is not fast enough to transfer video data. A 1394 kit (card, cable,sw) will cost you around $100-120. Some models tranfer their still image data via USB, but not video data.

no. hi8是模拟信号记录，模拟信号传输，再加上采集卡的模拟-数字转换，其间不可避免的会造成信号损失和失真，信噪比下降。而miniDV从记录到传输到编辑是全数字的，基本没有损失（除了一些特技效果）。little egg is doing fine, thanks!

Adobe is more powerful, Ulead is easy to learn. I'm using Adobe. You can find some tutorials from sohu search engine.
