Apart from this no problem with USB is there is any cable or any other option that i can use Please help.....many thanks

Answer 1

With no port and no expansion slot (PCMCIA or ExpressCard), there is no way to add a firewire (IEEE1394a, DV, i.LINK all the same thing) port.

USB-firewire converter adapters will not work.

The ONLY way that I can thinik of would be to get an Analog/Digital bridge like

Warning: Video quality will be degraded during the conversion from analog to digital.

Answer 2

Ok, if you have a memory card you can buy hardware to put the card into.
