Hi there,
I am really hoping someone can help me here because I am tearing my hair out! I recently purchased a new laptop Acer Aspire 5332 and I want to capture video from my digital video recorder. I had no problem doing this before with my old laptop (which is now broke beyond repair) it was also an acer aspire. The difference was that my old laptop had a PCMCIA big slot down the side, so all i did was buy a pc card with firewire ports on it and it worked perfectly. The problem now is...my new laptop only has one slot. Its a very small slot which i think is meant for camera sd cards and stuff. I tried buying a 1394a card off of the internet as I thought this was the one I needed, only to find the card is slightly too wide to fit in the slot. So Im now lost in how I can get my video to the laptop. Surely there must be a way!!!!! Its a new laptop!!
Many thanks
Dan

If you have any kind of card from your camera, try getting a USB card reader. They usually have all types. You can get them at Walmart probably, or best buy. If you don't have card for your camera, it probably came with a USB cord to plug directly into the camera, and some software to run it.

Its a digital camcorder im trying to attach to the laptop. Not a camera. My digital camera does not take cards, its the mini tapes. Ive ordered a firewire to usb cable but have recently heard that this will only transfer still images from my camcorder, not moving video. We will just have to see I guess when it arrives. I cant believe I am wishing my old laptop back though. This new one is so much faster and up to date then the old one. Why could they not include a pcmia slot again!!?? so much easier.
