DV cable used for coping cartridge to DVD? I try to copy tape (from camcorder) to
I try to copy tape (from camcorder) to dvd using a ieee 1394 dv cable. Tape is from a JVC camcorder and DVD recorder is a Toshiba. Can anyone warning me what dv cable I should buy? How do I know the size of cable (like 4 pin port to 6 port? or 4 to 4) ? Also please let me know where on earth can I buy this cable? Thanks so much.
Answers:
The six pin is rarely used anywhere except for a computer nouns. Not all DVD recorder have the DV connector, but some do and it should be a 4 pin. so 4-4 pin.
Most electronic stores will hold the cable, and you might try computer outlets as well. You are interested in the Firewire 400 cable ends - also prearranged as IEEE1394a.

Since we don't know where on earth you are, recommending a buying location is a bit of a defy. And we don't know if your Toshiba DVD recorder uses 4-pin or 6-pin.
