RE: oh the horror!
I assume you mean a Firewire input, not output, since you're wanting to transfer from your camcorder to the PC.
Yes, there's a very simple solution. Most PCs don't have Firewire; you have to install the card seperately. That's gonna run you from $10 to maybe $50 depending on what card you get. But it's a simple install, you just plug the card into a PCI slot on your motherboard. Here's a link to quite a selection of PCI firewire cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi ... re&Ntk=all .

RE: oh the horror!
thanks, sorry for the input/output mistake(I'm french, don't expect too much from me!)
and as I see a firewire card is a lot less expensive then I thought... thanks again!

RE: oh the horror!
I had the same problem with you but yeah bought a fireward card and installed it into my PCI slot.
But one reminder, the firewird card for notebooks and desktops is different. For notebooks : 4 - 4 pin
for computer, 4 - 6 pin.
