hi to all,
i have a new laptop without firewire on it, so i am interested if i am able to capture video
from my old mini dv samsung camcorder to laptop via usb 2.0, instead of firewire? is there any kind of firewire-usb
switcher i could use?
btw when i connect the camcorder to laptop it does not recognizes it at all, i guess because
i can't find new Vista drivers for the camcorder which is 3 years old.
thank you.

You can buy inexpensive FireWire cards that slot into a PCMCIA slot that nearly all laptops have. I have ones by Adaptec and Pyro.
The USB route will either be poor (often MPEG1) and/or have little support from most DV-based software.
See the "FireWire 400 PCMCIA CardBus Cards" list here:
