no firewire port. what to do?suggestions??

[Guest]

i was looking to buy a digital or analogue camcorder so i could shoot and edit film on my pc.(preferably digital
my pc has more than the minimum required
win xp hom
3.0 gig p
80g h
512 ra
128 nvidia gforc
however reading the windows 'how to movie maker' it says i need either a ieee394 port/firewire or an analogue capture card for non digital camcorder (i have neither) to load onto my pc. is there any alternative to this??? usb 2.0 maybe
i dont want to change whats inside the box and im being put off buying a camcorder.

id appreciate any ideas

Purchase a PCI card with IEEE1394 ports.... about $20.
