if i have a firewire port/receptacle does that mean i can import DV video without a video capture card?
that's the bad thing about buying a clone PC instead of a Dell or a Gateway, nobody gives you any information other than the manuals from the component manufacturers. Not much help really.

I don't know how firewire port works. But the hookup is very small and rectangular. We just plugged a Pyro firewire card into an empty slot, and the thing works. That is all I know.
We plug the wire into our video camera, then plug it into the firewire card in the back of our comp. It all works.
I would think you can import video with your setup. No port = no card. I think firewire may support other components besides video. Get a cable and plug your camera in. Wish I could help more, but this is my chick's thing, not mine. If I had to edit a video I would be fucked.
