"...如用notebook將video繞落隻dvd到,
會起格仔..." maybe if use firewire to capture and compress in realtime. But, if you will use SD card, no such issue. The worst case is taking longer time coz notebook is generally a slower system.
I am also using Panasonic SD5 DV Camcorder. If you expect to do some editing or even playing AVCHD file on your computer, i suggest you to buy a desktop because those action requires a powerful computer.
