aight i have big problems
i bought a videocamera last week , and today a firewire kable, but is just realized that i dont have like one of those outputs , dunno how u call it , , ill explain : i can plug the little thing of my firewirekable into my camera , but i dont have like a output to plug the big end of the firewire kable in...

so , did anyone ever have a prob like that? cause i dont know what to do , and i dont know if there s anything to do about it .....:s
cause i have my cam , got some footage from skateboarding on it , but i really wanna edit , is it possible like ( in a mac store or something ) that they put a firewire card in my mac so i can connect my cable to my mac? or are there any other solutions ?

plzz let me know!!!
greetz

( ps , i dont have that much money anymore, i spent it all on the cam , so if anyone would know if there is a salution , what would it cost? )

mucho grazias ;)

Need a little more information. Like what kind of computer do you have?
Also what kind of camera do you have?

All of the current models have firewire ports on them. I know the older G3 did not have firewire or usb. I install an usb/firewire pci card on my G3 powermac.

Looking at the fire wire cable you should have a 6 pin to 4 pin. The 4 pin side will plug into the cmaera, whereas the 6 pin side will plug in to the computer.

yea, add a firewire pci card or replace your current motherboard with one that has onboard firewire ports, that is located where there are holes for upgrades.

I'm sure return policies are not only native to the US. Go return the cam.
