Re: help camcorder
What type of camera is it? MiniDV, Digital 8, Hi 8, or VHS. It will say somewhere near the manufacturer name and model number,

If you ever get really stuck and can't do it - just think about how far away sunny Sandy in Bedfordshire is.... If you pop over I can do it onto dvd or cd for you

I don't suppose your pc has a firewire socket?

If you got something like this and put it in your pc it would be ideal
Not that I'm saying you need to get it from ebuyer of course - but it tells you what you need....

Do you know what a USB socket looks like?
It's a bit bigger than that and rounded at one end...

See the attached image for firewire sockets. If your PC has either of these, it has firewire.
Unless you have a laptop, a Mac or have bought your desktop PC within the last couple of years though, the chances are there isn't one fitted..

Re: help camcorder
Creative Audigy Soundcards often include them
If the only place you can see a firewire socket is on the case front, take care, if it's a case with firewire and USB front panel, that's not to say that there's anything connected to them - if they're on the motherboard backplate or a slot, then they should be the real thing.
