Firewire to USB??
 

Hey, i have a MiniDV Camcorder that uses ilink. The only cables I find are from ilink to firewire. The problem is my comp doesnt have a connection for firewire, only for USB. Im wondering the there are any wires that go from ilink to USB, or if there is a an adapter that changes a firwire to USB?

you could get a firewire card relatively cheap at you local computer store. shouldn't run you more than $40

k. thanx

There is no Firewire to USB, but there is ilink to USB. This is a Sony cam right? It should have come with that cord. If not, it cost about 20 dollars at Best Buy. Your best bet is to go for the firewire card. I run a G4 DP system and I use firewire for video editing (final cut pro). It is sooo much better and USB. With USB the video and camera itself will be VERY choppy. Looks like :pukey Good luck. Ohh and if you are using that windows XP movie maker...well, IMO it is gay. It's Microsofts knockoff of iMovie.
Go online and download a better video editing program. Limewire, Kazaa (?)...

thanks. but i jus went best buy and they didnt have a thing. the camera is a jvc piece of crap. yeh i might end up getting the card firewire card. but thanks anyways.

Just add firewire to your computer, USB is too slow

i am

usb2.0 is faster than firewire which is faster than usb1.1
