IEEE 1394 port WHAT IS THIS????

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

As I am a new comer to the Movie Making world I am not sure what (IEEE 1394
port) is? Do I have to purchase it?? Will it help me connect my camcorder
to my computer so I can capture my movies?

To anyone that can help,

Signed......new comer

You can also check in device manager to see if it lists one. If you don't
know how to do this, check out this page,
