    Hi, just bought a new camcorder an Canon HV20:D But the thing is, i have two computers a laptop and a pc, now the laptop is considerably better than the desktop, but it has no firewire port, the pc does but im not sure if it will be able to handle the HD footage, is there any way for me to connect a firewire to my laptop?

    I was also wondering if i just captured the footage on the desktop, then transfer it over to the laptop via pen drive will that work?

    Thanks

    I got a PCMCIA card for the laptop. It had two firewire ports.

    simplest way get a crossover cable links the two pc`s together run the set up a home network in windows on both just make sure that both pc`s are using the same name for the network ie on xp the default name is "mshome" and on vista it is "workgroup" you can call your network anything once the 2 pc`s are running with the same name.Oh to get to the setup home network go to start-network- look on the left of the screen (xp) vista is simlar
