I personally have found that it’s better to get a FireWire DV Card. But, the camera I have will not upload videos to the PC through a USB Cable, only still images. According to this manual, your Aiptek should. Usually, a regular USB cable isn’t fast enough for good video.

If you find that the videos are not of good quality, try 4 Port FireWire i.Link by Startech.com. That’s what I have, it’s pretty good, and was quite cheap. You can find several types here at CDW (a great place to buy stuff for computers)

There are others’ you can search for if you’re interested in a name brand.

As far as putting them on a website… Videos take up a lot of space. You’ll want to get a good server. Both your camera and any FireWire cards should come with decent video editing software. You can also look into Adobe Premiere, but it’s $$. You’ll want to look into which is the best format and compression, depending on the size of the videos you want to use.

Hope this helps.
