Hello,

I have acquired a new laptop that does not have an IEEE 1394 port.
I do video editing from a camera.
Are there any IEEE 1394 to HDMI adapters available?

If YES, where can I get one at a low cost?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 23.0.1271.95

Transfer MiniDV Tape
Transfer MiniDV tape to a laptop or desktop PC; it is essential that the laptop or desktop PC has a FireWire or iLink input (IEEE1394 port) – they are the same. Transfer using Windows Live Movie Maker or iMovie (Mac) or commercial editing software; the computer recognizes the camcorder immediately for capture.
An internal IEEE1394 (FireWire, iLink – it's the same) card is easily installed on a desktop PC.
If it’s a laptop that doesn’t have this input, a second solution is to check if the laptop has a side slot for “ExpressCard” (PCMCIA), the slot protected by a false plastic card. There are ExpressCard FireWire adapters available:

Third solution: you need to buy a converter box from analog to USB.
This box or key handles converting “analog stream into digital,” and you connect the box to the computer via a USB cable. The file is converted to MPEG2, a format easy to burn and compatible with all players, and allows for editing with “Studio.”
Connect the box and camcorder with an S/VHS recommended connection or composite (less good) (yellow RCA), and a cord for sound (2 red and white RCA). For the tape player, you need a SCART connection with an adapter or cord with “out” direction or with an in/out switch output S/VHS or composite yellow RCA (less good), plus sound, two RCA outputs red and white.
I recommend the Dazzle box, either “Recorder” or “Video Creator Platinum,” depending on your needs.
The price of the software provided with this makes the product interesting.
There are cheaper products, but be cautious; they can cause a lot of troubles.

The image quality can only be judged on a television screen once the film is burned.
