What does a firewire cable do with a video camera and windows movie maker?
Question by Justin: What does a firewire cable do with a video camera and windows movie maker?
I got this video camera that has its own software for dvd making but its hard to navigate and I would like to use windows movie maker because its less complex to work but when I pull up the moviemaker screen and go to capture from video device or whatever it shows a box that says that there is no video camera to capture from even though it is plugged into the pc the camera IS compatible with XP. my techie frends tell me to get a firewire cable but I dont know where to get one or how they work or even what they do. Could you help me out please?

First check wether you have a firewire socket on your PC,- they are just a better means of transfering video to the PC
