Hi,

 

Are you talking about your computer which has no firewire port ? If YES you can have one of two options:

 

(a) Use FCI - Firewire card like this (preferred)

 

 

You can buy from this:

(b) You can also use USB-Firewaire adapter like this:

My fire wire plug is 6-pin. The four pin end is the one that goes in the camera. Is there an adapter that will handle it. My footage is HDV. It's High Definition. My USB is the USB 3.0. Thanks
