Product: envy 700-147c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Envy 700-147c.  I noticed I don't have a FireWire i.LINK IEEE 1394 cable port to transfer my Sony HDV-1080i video camera foottage. The capture programs I use will not pickup USB transfered signals.  I understand I need to purchase and install hardware into an slot. Can I get some info on products I can purchase?


My questions are:
Which is best, x1 or x16?
Do I need the low profile?
Do I need to have a power connection to it?
Will I need any additional software?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, it can be done.  Firewire is going by the wayside just buy an add-on card that fits in the one of the 3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0)  should work just fine.  Here is an example

Or this one:
