Does her camera record to tape or to a memory card of some sort? If it records to tape, you might just as well download the video via USB (which I assume her camera supports) as there will be no advantage to using Firewire. This is because tape storage digital video has to be played back during the download (at least on my wife's camera) and USB is plenty fast enough for that.

dodecahedron wrote:well, i ended up buying a combo card:
2xATA133 + RAID + FireWire (2 ext, 1 int) + USB (3 ext, 1 int)
http://www.siig.com/product.asp?pid=300
the FireWire chipset is VIA.
i hope it will be OK.
i got it because it was only $20 more expensive than the ATA133 card (no RAID, no FireWire or USB).
figured the additional $20 was worth it.

the reason i got the card was for the IDE really. i was thinking Siig since i've read some posts saying that Siig cards work rather well with optical drives (better than other brands).
