[Pc_Support] Video streaming?

[Homer Whittaker]

I noted that some place along this thread someone mentioned Firewire. My 
AMD 64 mobo has a firewire outlet on the back panel.

I recently purchased a Sony VCR/DVD Recorder and Player that seems to be 
state-of-the-art, at least my sota . I am sick and tired of the rather 
mundane Brighthouse TV offerings so I am hoping to dowload some good 
movies, etc on DVDs.

I assume that I can capture the Video streaming you all are talking 
about on DVD, off of Firewire?
What Firewire components do I need in order to do this? I am in the 
midst of ordering a Plumax 350C2-ETB which is an enclosure that handles 
5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch drives but this is directed at the computer side of 
my home domain.

Are there any suggestions in regards to the above requirements and/or 
any additional Firewire devices that will make my life more enjoyable?????'
