 I have acquired JVC mini DV camcorder which has firewire connection my PC
does not have firewire card. I have been looking around and see I can have
firewire card fitted. The camcorder also has S VIdo connection and I see it
is possible to buy a USB 2 HUb to connect via svideo. I would also like to
capture video from an old analogue camcorder. Can anyone give advice on the
cheapest most effective way to do both. I see the USB hub is high speed 2 I
have 4 USB ports on my PC I dont know if they are 1.1 or 2 how can you tell.
I do run a ADSL Broadband so I think I might have version 2

Any ideas for the above would be very grateful as would like to get home
movies done for xmas

Thanks
