this may be the wrong place to post this, but this is a often-perused
group.

first off, i have a sony dcr-trv11 minidv camcorder. i am wanting to
transfer a digital video i took w/ the camcorder to a pc movie format
(avi, mpg, etc.). apparently the only way to do this is with iLink
(firewire) technology, which my motherboard doesn't seem to support and
if it does, i don't want to spend all this money to upgrade. apparently,
apple has been riding this wave for quite a while and finally pc has
joined in supporting firewire as well. does anyone out there have a
computer w/ this technology that actually knows how to use it? i don't
have any cables, software, anything like that - just the camera.

here is a picture of all the ports on the camera:

if anyone knows how to use this stuff and would be willing to let me
come over and convert this video, i'd be VERY appreciative!
