...Do you need to Edit your Digital Video Camcorder footage on your Personal Computer ? Then this IEEE1394cable will connect your DV camcorder to the FireWire port on your PC allowing fast transfer of your video movie to your Computer.
The cable just simply plugs into the relevant port on your DV Camcorder and the Firewire( IEEE1394 ) Port on the PC.
Using your own PC DV editing software you can capture the video at fast rates to your hard drive where you can make you own home movies.!
If you Dont have a firewire port then get StarTech's PCI FireWire card (Plug and Play installation) Look for it bundled with Ulead's great editing software.
I found this product ideal and was easy to use....

Watch for future features on this site where we explain all about FireWire.
Back to the board. This unit has five PCI slots, one of which is shared with an ISA slot, along with the obligatory AGP port and an AMR riser slot. Three DIMMs are onboard, each capable of handling PC-133 memory.

...Having recently bought a digital camcorder (JVC GZ-MC200 - check out my review), I decided it was time to buy a DVD writer to save all my footage, and I picked this one - external as I have a laptop - there are certainly cheaper options if you want to muck about with opening the case of your desktop PC and fiddling with wires...
As well as the DRX-700UL itself, in the box is a power cable, a transparent plastic vertical stand, a USB cable, a IEEE1394 4pin to 6pincable, user's guide and quick installation guide.
You can set the DRX-700UL flat, or also vertically, in which case you will need to use the vertical stand. The exterior (2.0 x 6.4 x 9.2 inches) is very attractive and the case (slightly narrower at the back than the front) is made of slivery plastic and the front panel is made of aluminum. You press a button on the right...
