Works great - and saved 19 hours of MiniDV footage!

This bilingual cable could connect an old Sony DCR-TRV10 camcorder with a 4-pin FireWire 400 port to a mid-2012 MacBook Pro with a 9-pin FireWire 800 port (unlike other similar cables). cable I bought that said it was NOT bilingual) which saved me about 19 hours of footage from old MiniDV cassettes.

Pros

  • HIGH SPEED: Connect Firewire 800 devices to legacy 1394a ports. Offers PC and Mac compatibility. Offers data transfer rates of up to 800 Mbit/s. Supports plug n play, hot plug.

I returned the Revain cable and decided to try again with a different manufacturer's cable and everything started working as soon as I plugged in a different cable So DO NOT BUY THIS CABLE I used the Revain's Choice cable found at the…
