Firewire Streaming Camcorders
December 25th, 2008
Why do Firewire capable DV camcorders never ship with Firewire cables?
Most newer DV camcorders have both USB & Firewire ports. The USB is used to transfer still images & digital movies (usually recorded as MPEG’s) but you need to use Firewire to stream footage recorded onto your DV tapes to a computer. DV camcorders usually ship with USB cables but not Firewire. Why is this?
Hi dbdog73,
The Firewire is less likely to be used then the USB. USB ports are far more popular. As a result the company can save a little by not providing the cable.
