I have a USB port on my computer. I want to connect my mini video camera to my computer and record from micro cassettes to a DVDR. Is there such a thing as a USB firewire for a standard USB port?

Firewire is different from USB. If your computer has an empty slot, you can buy a Firewire card and get it installed into your computer.
Then you could plug your video camera into the back of your computer.
Best Buy, CompUSA or other computer service stores could sell you the card and install it for you.

No. USB and Firewire (IEEE 1394) are completely different. You can buy a Firewire card for your computer to add Firewire ports.

USB and firewire are 2 different connection types.. You must use either or. What you need is a firewire card or connection on your PC. MiniDV cams use firewire.. I think the only thing youd need is the correct firewire.

Firewire is a different plug than a USB. It is also faster. You cannot plug a USB cord into a Firewire inlet and vice versa.

I doubt you will get extra advantageous than one or 2 those that very own a working laptop or pc that fits your specs. rather, why do no longer you purely verify newegg your self employing the link in my source? I narrowed down the outcomes slightly for you. IMO, the 0.33 one down -- the ASUS K50 -- looks like a winner to me; the video card is a lot extra helpful than the others in this fee element. purely grievance that I easily have is that it has a 32-bit Vista, so which you will purely be getting 3.25GB or so out of the 4GB RAM it is put in. no longer a great deal for the fee you would be getting it for nonetheless, and additionally you will constantly deploy a sixty 4-bit OS your self (like Win 7) interior the destiny to get the excellent 4GB.

two completely different technologies - they are competition, so you will not find a crossover.....
I just saw some people claiming that firewire is faster than USB - it is faster than USB 1.0, but slower than USB 2.0
