Thanks for the link. I read the article but my main concern is proper setup to capture from the cam to an external hard drive connected to the laptop.
The HDV cam will be connected to the firewire 800 port on the laptop. It is ok then to connect an Esata drive to the express card slot with an express card esata adapter? I don’t want to connect the HDV cam to the hard drive and then to the FW800 port. I’m coming over from the PC world so I just need to make sure the hardware will work. Thanks!
