How To Install a Firewire Card (Video Quality Test)

http://www.thevirtualunderground.net/forums

A quick video demonstration of me fitting my PC with a firewire card. Once installed my PC detected the hardware automatically, no driver installation was needed. This is also a test for YouTube's High Definition. Filmed on a MiniDV camcorder (Panasonic NV-GS320), so obviously not HD, but I upscaled it in Sony Vegas just to see if youtube will display it.

what about antistatic bands?

I have never used one myself but I'd recommend one. Especially if you're doing anything to someone elses computer.

hello, I have a questing. I bought a camera that doesn't come with usb or any capturing cable. So I saw that firewire could hlep me so I was looking a this video and saw what does firewire were. So I look in my computer and I saw that It had a firewire that says 1394. That firewire can help me capture my video once I have bought the cord?

by the way good vid!

What camera do you have? It really depends on that.

You mentioned at the begining that alot of pc's dont come with any firewire ports, why is that I wonder? Also I'm thinking about installing my own card but I'm worried about my processor compadibility, what should I look for when selecting one?
