The answer for barbqman was to purchase the HP Elitebook 8570 which comes with a firewire port.

Welcome to the forum.
- Is your PC a laptop, or a desktop?
- If a desktop, do you have any spare slots?
- If a laptop, does it have an ExpressCard, or PCMCIA slot?
Good luck,
Hunt

Just an additional question...do you want to be able to do this DV data capture firewire on a permanent basis for this JVC MiniDV Camcorder or is this a one time event to get video from the camcorder?
Thanks.

Mikeathome Mar 22, 2014 11:15 AM (in response to A.T. Romano)Hi
Thanks for your interest in my problem.
I just want to transfer one DV mini tape as one time event (Wedding). I do have about 40 to 50 tapes in my cupboard that perhaps one day may l may want to transfer to my computer etc.

Thanks for the reply.
The reason that I asked if this was a one time thing or not was related to my thoughts about asking you to look at the relative costs of have the DV data capture firewire done professional or by a friend versus going through looking for slots on your computer for a firewire card or purchasing a computer that still comes with a firewire port.
We will be watching for further developments.
Thanks.
