New member Username: Selvan777Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-04 | Hi all, I'm new here and looking for advise. I see a lot of questions answered in this forum like I need Firewire to transfer video. I have a Sharp VL-Z5U which has a 4 pin DV terminal(IEEE1394), the manual mentions a DV cable. My Adaptec DuoConnect for Notebooks has a 4 pin and a 6 pin Firewire port. Questions: 1. do I use a "4 to 4" or "4 to 6" pin cable? 2. do I use a "DV to Firewire" cable? 3. do I use a "Firewire to Firewire" cable? 4. Windows Movie Maker or Ulead Media Studio? Which software are you content with for video editing? Thanks a bunch. Selvan |

I think Home Theater Setup & Planning is a more appropriate forum to post in. Go to the link below and click on "Start New Thread" above the latest thread. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-theater/8607.html |

New member Username: Selvan777Post Number: 5 Registered: Nov-04 | Berny, Thanks again for the reply. At that price, I have not much to loose. The manual says it's a DV terminal an than in brackets (IEEE1394). I called them and they said either a 4-4 or 4-6 would work as long as it's a part# IEEE1394, it's hardly a part# but I got the message. Thanks a bunch for the support. My next step would be to pick the software that'll make VCD or SVCD movies, I was thinking TMPGE Plus V2.58, what do you think? P.S. I got Ulead MediaStudio Pro 6 |
