You could install a firewire card inside your PC - click.

Is there a USB lead I could buy rather than installing that?

The Mv700i is not USB compatible.

Does your graphics card have video inputs?

video inputs... i dont knwo what you mean...

I looked at the back of the processor but I couldnt see anywhere for the lead to go...

kempie

Are there any sockets that are marked AV or Video either on the front of the case or next to where the monitor cable connects at the back of your PC?

Better still, do you have a manual to hand?
