When I needed a FireWire port for an old DVI camcorder I ended up buying an old cheap sony Vaio laptop that had one integrated. It was almost impossible to find an interface at the time. Also, the usb to FireWire cables are not what you are looking for!

Cheers dude.

I got a Padarsey PCIe 3 Ports 1394A Firewire Expansion Card, PCI Express (1X) to External IEEE 1394 Adapter Controller (2 x 6 Pin + 1 x 4 Pin) with Low Profile Bracket for Desktop PC and DV Connection off BezosWorld for less than £20 and I'm half way through ripping my 5th MiniDV tape.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
