I want to plug my camera into my computer, but I don't have a firewire card.
I can't put in a firewire port card in my PCI slot because I don't have a PCI slot free. So, I found this little device.. I don't know what it does:

Would that work?
I could really use some help, because then my movie production will be delayed!
Thanks,
Joe Tese

no it needs to be plugged into a firewire port from the computer. think of it as an extension cord with 2 outlets.
maybe you can find a combo card with firewire to replace one of your pci cards.--

Ok thanks guys. That means I'll have to give up my TV tuner, Since I think Video Editing would be more important to me.
Are there any drivers that I need when I buy the firewire card? And if I really wanted to, can I just switch back and forth from my Firewire card to my TV tuner? lol.
Thanks for the replies! -
Windows XP / Vista and 2000 should detect and install drivers for firewire cards.

if the card that you buy does, it will come with it, but all the ones i have installed were found and setup by the winXP installer without any help from me.
swapping cards is fine it won't hurt anything.
newegg.com has some inexpensive ieee1394 firewire cards. iv'e used this one a couple times because it has a port in the back and a 9 pin header to connect to a front panel port if you have one or want to add one.
