Re: HD Camcorder - HDMI port on Laptop ?

That is what I am saying and yes he should check his setup sheet since that is where he should see an explanation of all the buttons and ports. You know, the one with all views of the computer (sides, top, bottom). :)

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.

There is an article with an excellent picture of a firewire port and cable here:

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.

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.
