Firewire from Digital Camcorder to 8886

Thread Starter 
I have just purchased a Digital Camcorder and I was wondering if anyone had any experience recording directly to the laptop's harddrive from the camera through the firewire port? Is there any problem with laptop harddrives (lower speeds than desktops)?

I never did it with the Sager but I did it with a Sony, this one had as far as I know only a slow HD and it worked. It toke forever to edit it but it worked. Should be no problem at all.

Look into the Audio/Video section.

I just did it from my Sony DV520 to my 5660. THe slower HD does take its toll on time but now problems as far as editing.

videocapture and videoediting

Don`t forget about differenses in perfomance of desktop and laptop harddrives. Harddrive is bottleneck in videoditing. For capture digital video it will be enough 4200rpm dma66 even dma33. However if you planning EDITING your video using some sophisticated video editors even 4500 udma100 ata5 will made you crazy (I mean Ulead Media Studio pro 6.5 or Adobe Premiere 6). But for Ulead Video Studio (Media and Video is BIG differences)it will be enough, but barely enough. The best decision IMHO is external fireware or usb2.0 7200rpm-desctop or even though 5400rpm-laptop harddrive. Using 2 harddrives you can configure it for record data to fastest drive and write from another (slowest). This is the simpliest and most affordable way to achieve increasing perfomance.
And the best way use Google for "videoediting".
Best Regards.
