FireWire DVCR

[PhilgB]

Ive been browsing the net for a while looking for any information i can find on this but havent found anything useful. Is there a VCR with FireWire output. Ive seen a couple with FireWire input, but i want to output to my computer mainly for viewing but possible editing as well. Pretty much a 'camcorder' without the portability. I want to be able to watch TV and movies without the hassle of analog wires. Just a single plug for firewire. Thanks!

Or another firewire solution. Such as a firewire tv tuner. I have only seen pci or usb tv solutions. usb is out of the question and id like to stay away from pci. Any suggestions?

I thought firewire is bi-directional, ie. any D-VCR /w this feature can both input and output digital data.

I've just found this post in another forum site which might be the answer of your question.

I was afraid of that. However I found this product from ViewSonic called NextVision6. It has nothing to do with firewire but instead turns your PC monitor into a TV.

I would have liked to control everything from my computer, but I do like the fact that none of my PC resources would be used, and that I could get huge quality.

Has anyone seen any other companies make this type of product? I cant seem to find this one on eBay, or localy.
