you can hook up external drives ( in a 1394 case or some are made with a 1394 interface instead of an ide one ) or do raw captures from camcorders that have 1394 output

Firewire port is for high speed communication between different kind of Handheld devices with your PC. You can connect your Digital Camera or your mobile phone to the PC using Firewire. Please check the Manual which came with your devices to see whether it has a Firewire port on it.
Nowadays all the Digital devies are having either Firewire or USB port to connect to your PC or your Laptop..

You can connect a digital camcorder to the firewire port. It will allow you to do video editing.

FireWire is Apple Inc.'s proprietary name for the IEEE 1394 interface (and also in the UK a colloquial industrial term for 'LHDC' (linear heat detecting cable) used in high integrity fire detection systems). It is a personal computer (and digital audio/digital video) serial bus interface standard, offering high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data services.
