These cards and cables seem all over the board in price, I wondered how to
get best value.
Setup is... I'm using a WinXP(pro) PC with Windows Movie Maker, and
connecting a Sony digital camcorder, abt 3 yrs old.
Is there anything to watch out, and make sure I do or don't get when it
comes to buying card/cable. Don't need more USB ports. So far found
these...
-Most in-store cards $25-50. Most cables around $25-30, some online ones are
cheaper but loaded with shipping/handling.
-Tiger Direct. Found via Amazon. Has a IEEE 1394 card for PCI slot, plus
cable for $12.97, plus about $7 shipping. Seems like a great deal. Are
there any "watch out for's" for something this inexpensive?
Aren't IEEE 1394 cards approaching commodity status by now...wouldn't they
all be about the same?
Thanks,
George
