PCMCIA card? are you using a laptop?

Or do you mean PCI card, for a 'regular' PC? If so you need to buy a firewire
capture card.

Something like this:

The above example comes with video capture and editing software.

Connect your camcorder to a firewire port on your computer.
Use a video capture software application.

Are you using a notebook computer that requires PCMCIA?
Or are you using a desktop computer that likely needs PCI?
Either way you need a Firewire port.
