How do I transfer video from a DVD camera to a Compaq laptop? Laptop does not have a firewire input.?
Compaq laptop appears to have an S-video input and some other polygon shaped input with a bunch of little holes in it. Why doesn't this Compaq have a firewire input like my Mac? I thought all computers have that.

Not all computers have firewire, and that includes some Macs - but that's a separate issue! DVD camcorders don't transfer video via firewire or USB - you need to finalise the DVD in the camcorder and then read it in your PC. Once you've finalised the disk you can't write any more to it.

Install a PCI card, if your computer does not support firewire so you will be able to use the firewire cable. You can buy one at an electronics store. And purchase one data cable from compaq store only which can support this data transfer.
