Ok so basically I have bought myself a 4pin-4pin firewire lead and it fits in my camera and laptop fine. My laptop has the 1394 socket fine (socket/port/whatever you'd call it). But nothing happens at all. So i figured through my research (yahoo question searching) that you need a "firewire port" to be built into the laptop. Well my dad knows a technical guy who could do it but he won't be round our house for a million years (you know what's it like with some people, probably just my dad coz he doesn't get on with things like that...this technican friend of his Tom is mainly meant to be coming round to fix the PC. No idea why coz dad, me and sister all have laptops...!) Anyway, I need to get the right thing and on yahoo i've never totally got the right answer. What exactly is a firewire port IF it's what I need? My basic request is that anyone could link me to whatever it is I need, how I use it etc and basically how I can transfer video from my camera to my laptop and do youtube vidz
