if you really want an HDMI PCI card here's one:

Have no idea what you'd use it for. If you were to use it, though, you'd need a fast harddisk array.

wow.... I dont think I need that.... I could use that $250 on building me a new computer!!! so ragular rca's or whatever canon supplies with the camera would be good enough for something I'd be using it for?

So lets get this right can i transfer my hd 1080i footage to my pc via firewire and burn it to blueray or hd discs? So for thi i dont need HDMI out, Do I ?

You got it.

What's recorded onto the tape is already compressed -HDV. So either way you get it out (be it FireWire, HDMI, Component) you will see pretty much the same thing. and yes, if you can afford a $599.99 Blueray PC drive and $16 per disc you can simply transfer video via FireWire to PC and burn it onto the BD.

HDMI could be used to record uncompressed video (in live situations), but you need tremendous amount of memory for that and several hard drives linked together. It's useless pretty much to the average user.

if you do not have an HDTV with HDMI then there is no problem.
the canon HV10 is a fantastic camcorder which can easely connect with the PC through i-link.

No HDMI out? So what about firewire to HDMI cable or converter and that would solve it, Does anyone know if there is such a cable or is it possible ?

Just use component.

I still don't get the fuss about HDMI.

Viewing output from the camera via HDMI to a HD tv with HDMI input gives you a quick way to view exactly what you created.
