Firewire

Tom and associates, Is there any way to have one cable that comprises full size usb plug and, on the other end a full size firewire plug, both female?

I have a laptop with a mini firewire and would like to transfer some video into the the firewire from a dvd player. The DVD player only has RCA plugs and HDMI. Are there cables or interface devices that allow me to do this? Anyone have a better suggestion?

Ok so where to start. I have a Sony Handycam (had it for a long time.) Works fine on XP, but I recently upgraded to Vista. As some of you may know, most versions of Vista do not support Firewire. So I can now not transfer video or stills from the MiniDV tape to the computer through firewire...

I'm looking at the ExpressCard as a reasonably fast backup device. I've found Firewire 4* and USB 2.0 to be unacceptably slow. Testing these, the practical throughput rate from disk through the USB or FireWire to the other disk is not even close to theoretically. I know it's a systems issue...

I have a athlon 1.3 with 512 MB, for some reason, when I tried to transfer some video from my digital camcorder, frames will drop. Do you think a faster CPU will help. Or is it my firewire card doing it. Does the quality of a firewire card make any different? Thanks Ray

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?) I got my pcr-a30 finally. My mic is the same dynamic mic I've used with my firewire 410 audio interface. But unlike the Firewire 410, the audio that goes into the pcr-a30 is not pre-amp'ed. There's a little knob on the back that slightly...

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?) We're replacing our laptops. The last time we did this, we passed on IBM's Thinkpads because they had no firewire support on their USA models. I've checked the IBM site and it seems this is still the case, which I find strange. Are there...

Hi My daughter has just got an ipod and when she got it home she found that she couldnt use it on her pc as it only comes with a firewire connector and her pc only has usb. I went back to the shop and was told that I could get a usb connector but that it would be nearly £30. Does anyone know...

I am in the process of either buying a DV video editing card (ie Pinnicle DV) or an ATI All in wonder/Nvidia Personal Cinema GeForce. I noticed that ATI's and Nvidia's cards do not include a ilink/firewire port. Will that degrade quality or is firewire just for speed? I mainly use my computer...

my father just bought a digi-8 camera. what's the difference between that and a digi cam that takes DV tapes? the thing has a firewire (or iLink as sony demands) output. the tapes are apparently the same size as his old 8mm tapes.
