I have NO idea what LANC is...</p> <p>I want to be able to capture video on my Dell Laptop that does NOT have a firewire port built in. I've seen some Express Cards (link below) for sale and it looks like they will do the trick. I put a firewire card in my home PC and it works great!! Good transfers, great video and audio, very bass'y sound.</p> <p><a href="http://www.buyextras.com/syie13fiexti.html?gclid=CLfyoK-Cv5ICFQwmIgodizeLXA" rel="nofollow">http://www.buyextras.com/syie13fiexti.html?gclid=CLfyoK-Cv5ICFQwmIgodizeLXA</a></p> <p>My question is: Does anyone have info on the laptop card to get a firewire connection going? And if so, what the heck is the 5v power adapter on the side of some of the Firewire express cards?</p> <p>Thanks VideoMakers!!</p> <p>JoeCubicle</p>
