| 877620 | 2010-04-17 15:51:00 | I bought a handycam from trademe, but has no software discs, but I want to use the firewire port with a prog I have. So basically I'd need the typical firewire cable with a firewire end and a 5pin end lead. I thought it shouldnt be too hard to find but havent seen one yet. Anyone else seen them? |

| 877622 | 2010-04-19 00:51:00 | What version of Windows?? Does Windows detect it, and load a driver? Whats the brand / model of the cam? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 877623 | 2010-04-19 01:49:00 | No hassle support in XP/Vista. Win 7 can have a problem I believe, but here is a link that may be helpful. www.youtube.com Ken |

| 877624 | 2010-04-19 01:57:00 | Dont think the prob is with win7. Its finding the right connection / cable to connect it to the PC. Does the connection look like this ? (www.white-light.net) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 877625 | 2010-04-19 02:35:00 | That is USB Speedy! Ken See this.... www.google.co.nz |

| 877626 | 2010-04-19 02:38:00 | Umm no its not its firewire. Its the same connection thats on my cam. It may say USB but it isnt. Thats probably a site. Its probably the 2nd pic rob wants. Maybe a 6 to 4 pin (which is what my cam uses). Or 4 to 4 pin, depending on what the connection looks like on the case | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 877627 | 2010-04-19 06:26:00 | Whatever, Speedy... Ken |

| 877628 | 2010-04-19 07:03:00 | That photo looks suspiciously like USB Mini-B to me... Rob: What model of camera is it? Are you sure you aren't confusing USB and Firewire? |
