You need to get firewire PCI card for your PC and a Firewire cable!!!! cost about $20~50. John
I have an HP Pavilion a320n and a Hi8 Canon ES8600 camcorder. To upload footage to the computer I bought Mediostream NeoDVD software that came with an external cable to import audio from the AV Outlet cord from the camera. (The video port was already in the computer.) But none of the video editing programs can detect my camera when I plug it in and turn it on to the "Play/VCR" function. I do not know what kind of capture card I have, and there are no drivers for the camcorder. Please help if you know the problem or how to fix it. Thanks!
