239877 2004-05-28 02:39:00 Is it possible to plug the video out on a analogue video camera into a firewire port? Andrew B (867)
239878 2004-05-28 02:41:00 Are you the same guy who asked if he could read dvd's in his cd drive? metla (154)
239879 2004-05-28 02:54:00 No Andrew B (867)
239880 2004-05-28 03:02:00 the answer is a very big NO!!

however you can get a box that will take the vidoe out from a camara and turn it in to digital info for the fireware port, the box costs a lot of $$ ($700+)

firewire is a digital system and the video out you talk of is an analog system and that problem.

so with out spending $700 the answer is no.

239881 2004-05-28 03:04:00 $700?

An $80 tv-capture card will do it no problem.

239882 2004-05-28 03:06:00 ok thanks. I thought that might be the answer. No harm in asking though. Andrew B (867)
239883 2004-05-28 03:07:00 well yes a $80 capture card will do the capture but the $700 box will do it with the firewire port :-) robsonde (120)
239884 2004-05-28 05:22:00 Or a DV camcorder paulw (1826)
