I believe firewire is to transfer video from digital camcorders only.


take a look at this: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/uk/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Studio+500-USB+version+10.htm

maybe that's what you're looking for.

cheers.

Well think to sex education. The male connectors connect into the female ones. So the card you specified needs male connectors to plug into them.

If you want good quality you need to convert the Analog signal to digital. I was looking for one but they're like £200+. I have a link from when I googled http://www.internetvideomag.com/ProductReviews/products2002/VideoConverters.htm

No, that won't work because the camera that you mentioned is not digital it is analog. Firewire is a digital input. Fahad was steering you right because you first need to convert the analog signal into a digital one through a converter "box" and there are many different kinds.

Yeah, basically if all the outputs are RCA or S-Video then you need to convert it to a digital signal first.
