It's been a while since I've been here. My equipment was sold but I've since gotten it back and now I'm trying to build up a portfolio but need some help. The laptop I have to use has no Firewire ports so I went out and picked up a couple options.
1. a Firewire to USB cable
2. A RCA plug to USB capture box.
I use option 1 and my camera says DV In and not DV Out so it wont hook to the computer
I use Option 2 and the red light comes on on the box but the computer does not show it's connected.
Is there a way to connect the Canon XL 2 into my Compaq laptop?
