Why a firewire cable is not included
|
Why wasn't a firewire cable included with my digital video camera kit? Firewire ports (camera or computer) come in two configurations -- 4 pin or 6 pin. Canon's digital video cameras have a 4-pin DV (digital video) port, whereas most firewire capture cards are configured with a 6-pin port. A 4-pin to 6-pin cable would work for most users, but some may have a 4-pin port on their computer, and some may want to transfer their digital video to another digital device which is configured with a 4-pin port.

Video editing software is not packaged with Canon digital video cameras
|
Canon DV Camcorders are not bundled with any computer software to download video via the IEEE-1394 connection on the camera. To download video and still images to a computer requires an IEEE-1394 interface (Firewire), an IEEE-1394 cable, and appropriate video capture/editing software. Kits containing the appropriate OHCI compatible capture card and software for this 'firewire' technology are commercially available.
