 Worked perfectly! July 20, 2010

The RiteAV - Firewire 4-pin to 9-pin Cable was exactly what I needed. I just recently bought a new Macbook Pro after my five year old Windows machine died, and not realizing my 4-pin to 4-pin wire had become old technology in the two and a half years since I bought it, I nearly freaked out when I couldn't connect my Panasonic GS90P to my mac. What's worse, none of my family's newer PCs even had firewire ports. Luckily, after a bit of research, I realized that Macbook Pros are equipped with a 9-pin slot, so I chose to buy this under $5 wire over comparable ones sold for $80 elsewhere. I received it in just a few days, and it worked like a dream, automatically transferring all of my miniDV footage into iMovie. I'm so glad I don't have to go out and buy a new video camera just yet!
Cheap and it does the job June 13, 2010

Have you ever said to yourself, "Self, I need a cable that would connect this firewire-800 port to that mini-firewire port?" Or maybe your self likes to use the obtuse "number of pins" nomenclature that Amazon seems to favor, in which case you would be thinking, "Self, I need a cable that would connect this 9-pin firewire port to that 4-pin firewire port!" Well, this is the cable for you! Because that's what it does. One end plugs in to the firewire-800 port, and one end plugs into the mini-firewire port, and then the two things with the ports can make sweet, sweet things-with-ports love. Through the cable. Which, you know, if you have kids or something, maybe now isn't the best time to explain how all that works. But I digress. This cable is cheap, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Also, you talk to yourself too much. You should probably seek out some professional counseling or something.

This firewire cable works perfectly! I have used it to capture over 30 hours of tape without any problems. There is no reason to buy a more expensive version - don't waste your money! No complaints.
Great for the price. May 9, 2010

I can't believe how expensive these cables are on other sites. This cable lasts and does the same thing as the ones that cost nearly 30 dollars more. I no longer use this because I've moved to DSLR but if you're using a minidv or HDdv camera or any video camera it works great.
can't beat the price May 1, 2010

Almost bought a similar cable at an electronics store for over $40. Luckily I checked Amazon and found this one. I have had no problems with it, works great!
