Please don't SHOUT!!! Using upper case is considered rude in terms of netiquette...

Can't answer your question about batch converting, but re the firewire connection, you need to buy a 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable if there are 4 pin plugs in both the laptop and camera...

Batch convert as the name implies converts several files one after the other.
If you only have one file to convert then you would use the share tab.

If you have several to convert you would probably set your computer up to do it overnight while you get some sleep. The computer will then convert the first file, convert the second, convert the third, fourth and so on.

about that 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable, I bought one a few months ago to use with my laptop. Found one by searching Google and it cost one pence!!
The postage and packing cost four pounds fifty
