Sony Handycam DCR HC28 that i want to hook up to my new macbook?

Question

I have a Sony Handycam DCR HC28 that i want to hooked up to my Mac Book what is the best fire wire to use that will work for transporting video from the camera to the computer?

Answer 1

well the ONLY fire wire lead you can use is a 6 to 4 pin.

4 goes in cam, 6 in lappy.

launch i movie (or final cut) and click import. no drivers needed.

fw 400 is the standard video to computer lead. there is also fw800 but thats more for external drives to computers.

btw -its a two way street too. you can import and export to and from the compy to cam and visa versa.
