5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Plug and Play - Great Value

I also purchased the 6 foot firewire cable. I would suggest not getting a cable any shorter than 6'

If you plan on tranferring your video to VCD, you may want to invest in a good video editing program like...

This review is from: IOGEAR GIC1394 FireWire PCI Card (IEEE 1394) (Personal Computers)

If you plan on tranferring your video to VCD, you may want to invest in a good video editing program like Adobe Premiere.

I will be investing in some video software soon

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellence., July 31, 2003
This review is from: IOGEAR GIC1394 FireWire PCI Card (IEEE 1394) (Personal Computers)
Highly recommended. The installation was simple. XP detected the drivers and set it up instantly. Was able to hook up external hard drive without any problems. Even comes with software to create your own digital movies. Learning the software is not as easy as installing the PCI card.
Overall, very satisfied with this product.
