Anyone know where I can get a good, cheap firewire to port my Panasonic PV-DV53 to my computer so I can transfer movies to my hard drive?

Go to compusa.  A PCI or PC card firewire card go for under $50.

Wait.. can you use the same connector/wire that I use for my digital camera? The holes in both my camera and camcorder looks exactly the same.

I personally like to champion USB 2.0 over Firewire, but I think Firewire is probably best for those sorts of things.  It's more mature in that field and whatnot.

The controller ports on an xbox are USB, heh

I got a 5-port USB controller on eBay for probably $25 shipped.  There are also firewire and USB/Firewire combo cards for about the same price.  Happy hunting.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

Get a FireWire card, and you will probably have to buy a seperate wire that is firewire on one end, and fits your digi cam on the other (they are around 20-25$).

Hes probably talking about 4 pin and 6 pin connectors for firewire.  Well, uhh, if your camcorder cable does not fit the ports on the firewire card, you may need to get a 4-pin to 6-pin converter.  I have to use one for my Ipod since my laptop doesnt support 6 pin.
