Hi Forum,
My Mum has an Acer 5740G which was bought in the last 4 months. She would like to use it to edit movies, recorded on her Digital Video camera.
I advised her that she would need a firewire port.
It turns out that the laptop doesn't have one.
So I advised her that she would need a PCMCIA firewire card, to give her a firewire socket to plug the video camera into.
I have now discovered that this laptop does not have a PCMCIA socket !! It would be putting it mildly to say I was a little surprised. I don't think I've ever come across a laptop without a PCMCIA socket.
In light of the lack of firewire port or PCMCIA socket, does anyone have any ideas for how to get the output from a DV camera into the laptop?
Any assistance would make my Mum's week !
Ta,
Ian.
