HELP! what camera cables do I use???
I have an Canon GL2 and would like to burn some DVD of my tapes. I need a cable to go from my cameras dv in/out plug in to my computer. Now I can not find a firewire plug in on the tower at all. I have USB ports on the front. But nothing on the back or front for firewire.
Can I buy a dv in/out plug for my camera with a USB at the other end or do I still need firewire? If so I will have to install a firwire card. And where do I buy these cables when I need them? Thanks for all the help. Steve |

You will need to install a FireWire/IEEE1394 PCI card in your computer. I've seen them for as little as $30 at CompUSA.

Your camera will require 4 pin and most (all?) FireWire cards are 6 pin. The 6 pin is capable of carrying power for devices that require it. I use a 4 pin to 6pin cable with my XL1s and other cameras.
