I just dusted off my old video Digital8 video camera to capture some old tapes on new laptop (which I have actually had for 3 years but never used it to capture video!) and now I am scratching my head.
It’s a custom built Mythlogic laptop and which I ordered specifically with Firewire port for this very scenario however, I as I grabbed my old firewire cable to plug-in, I noticed it was a “mini” firewire port on my laptop (like the size on camera) – and didn’t have the large usb-sized-looking thing that I use to plug into the firewire port on the back of my desktop.
So, I scratched my head a bit, looked online, and found a 4pin to 4pin Firewire cable.
I thought that would be the fix and but after connecting, I cannot connect to the camera. My computer doesn’t seem to recognize it at all.
Anyone know if there is an issue going 4pin to 4pin on a firewire cable?
