ex. hard drive question

[jje1]

If I bought a laptop hard drive of about 80 gb and build portable ex. hd, would I be able to interface with my dvx100a using a firewire. Would I be able to capture the video on the laptop hard drive and would I need any sort of program to make the cam and hd work? Thanks!

Re: ex. hard drive question

An ext. firewire harddrive, attached to the DVX, will not be able to capture video. Software is required which means 2 options. 1) Use your laptop to capture or 2) buy a Firestore or nNovia portable DVR device which will record to a harddrive.

Good luck!
