HD Camcorder - HDMI port on Laptop ?
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 "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: Yes.

HD Camcorder - HDMI port on Laptop ?
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. "Jason" wrote in message ... Colin, You are awsome man!

HD Camcorder - HDMI port on Laptop ?
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!

HD Camcorder - HDMI port on Laptop ?
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. "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: What is the camera? I don't think you ever said.

HD Camcorder - HDMI port on Laptop ?
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.

I checked out the specs. My computer is Gateway P-6822. It says I have expansion slot : ExpressCard/54 So this means I can get my firewire??? Also, Is this a card that slides into the side of my laptop, or must I place it "inside"? Jason "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: You're welcome and good luck. "Jason" wrote in message ... Thanks Colin, I will look it up tomorrow morning. Jason "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: Look up your model on the internet. You should be able to find the specs. "Jason" wrote in message ... I am unsure if I have an expresscard. My slots say: SD/MMC/MS/XD... Thanks for taking the time to help me with this issue Colin.

You know, the one with all views of the computer (sides, top, bottom). "Curious" wrote in message ... Colin, Are you saying hat most of the current generation of Laptops have Firewire ports so the OP's laptop may have one. If yes then Jason needs to consult his Laptops user manual for details. "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ... There is an article with an excellent picture of a firewire port and cable he http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireWire You do not say anything about your computer so no one can say if you even have a firewire port. Almost all recent computers do, however. "Jason" wrote in message ... I recently bought a HD Camcorder. I bought Pinnacle Studio Ultimate to edit my film. I am able to connect my camcorder to my laptop using USB, but the software doesn't recognize my camera. It says I need to use Firewire or 1394 port. When I hook my camera up with HDMI, the camera and computer do not recognize each other. I know the HDMI works, because I've used it for my TV. I am not sure what the Firewire port is, or if my laptop has on? I much rather use my HDMI port. Is there a way I can get my computer to recognize devices hooked up through HDMI ? I am using Windows Vista.
