Camcorder to laptop
 

I have a Dell. It sucks.

I have to upload camcorder footage to laptop.

Problem: I don't think I can install the firewire card into my laptop.

Or can I? I have no idea how this stuff works.

Is there a firewire cable to USB adapter?

Damnit VSG, I've been doing that and no help.

No, there are some weird Chinese firewire to USB adaptors, but they don't work.

If your laptop has a PCMCIA slot:

You can buy one of these:

You need to make sure it's the right one though as there are different firwire ports (400 and 800 being the most common).
