[Colin Barnhorst]

Yes. Here are some examples: (They list Vista compatibility. A lot of
others do not.)

Colin,
You are awsome man! I greatly appreciate your help.
I have a good understanding of what I need now.
I'm not too keen on buying products online.
Hopefully I can find what I am looking for at a retail store.
I searched Bestbuy, but didn't see exactly what I need.
I am going to go to a few computer stores today and see if someone
carries what I need. If not, then I may have to by this
online.... If it comes down to that, what online store would
you recomend, and have you had any problems with these companies.
Thanks again Colin!
Jason

Don't forget to make sure you get a cable too.

I recommend NewEgg. A lot of folks do. Excellent service and return
policy. They are a big outfit and known by many to have excellent prices.
I would not hesitate dealing with them if you need to order online. That's
assuming that you are in North America.

I couldn't find what I was looking for. So I will order the part on NEWEGG...
However, My camcorder does not have a connection for firewire... I don't
think.
It has: HDMI, component, usb.... Will firewire work with either of these? If
not,
I am screwed!

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

What is the camera? I don't think you ever said. If it is Sony the
firewire port is called "iLink."

 

[Jason]

I took the camera back. All the cameras that Bestbuy has do not offer the
firewire capability. I am going to get a more professional camera.
As far as my ExpressCard/54, is there anything that I should look out for?
For example: some transfer at 400mb/s and others 800mb/s... does it matter
which I buy, and will the camera I get have issues with either of these?
One more thing, I tried to restore my computer to an earlier state, and when
I tried, it gave me a message saying that I have errors on my C:/. When I
went into my C:/, I told it to check for errors and repair them. It said that
it could not do this while C:/ is in use. It asked if I wanted to schedule
this next time I start my computer. I said yes several times, and yet nothing
gets fixed. Any recommendations? Im using Windows Vista.

The 800 cards are backwards compatible with the slower speeds so it should
not matter as long as the card supports the transfer rate offered by the
camcorder. Most camcorders probably support at least 400. 800 would only
be supported by Vista SP1.

You probably should start a new thread regarding the C: drive errors. When
you do give the make, model, and specs of the computer, as well as the
edition of Vista and whether 32bit or 64bit.
