Answer 1

>so usb streaming is to take videos from your camera and put them on the computer?

Not really - the video's often at a lower resolution.  It's just using the camcorder as a webcam.  

>can you put videos on the internet with firewall too?

If you meant firewire rather than firewall, no - that's the best way to capture the video but it doesn't work for video streaming.

USB Streaming

Stay connected to family and friends by broadcasting live video with audio over the internet using the USB interface. You can even playback your favorite recorded scene on the camcorder's tape. It's like having your own video conferencing system.

Basically, you can plug it into your computer and it can be a webcam.
