My Dell XPS 8500 recognizes this card. I'm trying to import video from a Canon DCR HC21 mini DV. My firewire doesn't fit the card. Advice?.

That camera uses a IEEE1394 connection that would need an "I.link" cable. Look up "I.link to FireWire adaptors". I haven't seen those in a long time...if I remember correctly the PS2 used those connections.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card is not dell specific. It will work in any system that has the appropriate expansion slot. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris nickels Red Planet Trading

No. Ditto Libby. My advice is go to the manufacturer for an OEM card, if possible. Dell didn't have one for me, and this one didn't work. I'd have returned it but it was too big a hassle.

I'm not certain what the size of that card is, but you're going to have a problem with the power supply. It drives my onboard video fine but not a stand-alone card.

I bought this a long time ago and I believe I returned it because I had problems with it. It kept stopping when I tried to transfer video from a mini DV tape camcorder to my computer using adobe premier. I bought a Belkin firewire card instead and had no problems. I have no experience using a firewire card to capture video from cable.

The answer is a huge no, this card only works on just one model and that is the XPS M1730 which was the end of the line. Dell never made a laptop like that since but the m1530 has everything integrated to the board so once broken isn't easy to fix. You will have to buy a whole new board if you have the dreaded video issue but if just wanting to upgrade just buy a newer laptop. By the way this card for the XPS M1730 handles modern game rather well and stays cool.

This is a firewire card and is used to import video from some devices (camcorders and more) that still use firewire. Not for TV.

I tried on a Dell XPS with Win 7 Pro, 32 bit and would not work, no video out. The older AGP card, a 128 meg card, no driver was everfound to work with it on Win 7 so this attempt to get accelerated graphics to work with Win 7. The older card was fine with XP 32 bit.

You need a firewire to go from the camera to the computer and the computer needs to have the correct plugin to use the firewire. Most computers do not have this capability (plugin port). Our son had added it to our computer and provided me with the necessary program (Nero 8) to copy videos. No software for this video camera have to do it the long way. You can consult like Best Buy's GEEK Squad or someone with that knowledge, we just happen to have a computer guy in the family. Be very careful the PINS on the plug-in on the camera BEND VERY easy and then you cannot do anything!! Hope this helps.:)

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

I cannot help: I had a different camcorder and Windows 7. I transferred about 100 tapes with no problems, completed the work about a year ago, and since then use this port only for one old backup external hard drive that need Firewire port.

has no firewire port but has USB 2.0 when connecting the camera with usb cable indicated on the display is connected to the pc, there you can find who wish to transfer files to the PC. or even the software recognizes the camera to make a direct import. I use iMovie and it works perfectly fine and I use Pinnacle 16 pc likewise have no problem. Greetings.

ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/inspiron-660s_Owner's%20Manual_en-us.pdf From all I see in your manual for replacing video card it just calls out for a PCI-Express x16 card or PCI-Express xl card.. this is a low profile card so I don't see it being a problem. You can ask Dell directly in a chat.. But I don't think you will have a problem with it fitting in your case. Amazing video. I would buy another one.

We would need more information about the model you have. If you can list your computer specifications, I can help you. There are many different Dell XPS models from Dell. If it's a laptop, then no. If it's one of the desktops, then get the specs posted here and we can be of further assistance. Good luck. This card is great.

The card I have has USB and a Fire wire port. The USB works fine, I have not had the opportunity to use the Fire Wire ports.

It depends on the type of slots in your system and what OS you're running. I have a SFF Dell 740 and needed the shorter card (height and length) for the slot size. I'm also running Windows 8.1. It's working fine for me out of the box, plug and play. That is, I installed the card, powered my system back on and Windows located the appropriate driver for it and installed it. I also downloaded the latest release of the ATI Catalyst control center software.
