Re: USB and Firewire vs. Network Card?

Would it make more sense to design high-bandwith devices such as DVD
camcorders with RJ-45 outputs and Cat 5e cables, instead of firewire or
USB?

I think it would - a lot. The only advantage USB has over the RJ45 is
the power sourcing capability. The advantages of making a camera or
whatever being yet another IP address node are obvious.

Or is there more to the story...?
