Worked on my MacBook Pro
I was surprised my new MacBook Pro doesn't have a FireWire 400 port, so bought this FireWire 800 cable and it downloaded videos from my DV camcorder just fine.

I'm a video teacher and I was having quite a few varied problems that I was blaming on various devices or tapes (haven't switched yet) and it turns out that I just needed to get a new cable. I bought four to have backups! Wish I'd done it sooner!

Works great with my Apple MacPro and video recorder, external HD/DVD equipment. Price was reasonable for the quality product that your purchasing. I would recommend this product to others especially because here in CA [...] doesn't sell this product, [...] sells it for [$] (way over priced), and [...] wanted [$] (fairly decent if you need a cable ASAP).

Comments about Belkin FireWire 400/800 9-pin to 4-pin DV Cable - 6 ft:
I acquired this product after coming to the realization that my DV to USB cable just wasn't cutting it, and I'm glad I upgraded. Not only does FireWire harbor faster transfer speeds, it is extremely durable. I can be confident that anytime I plug this into my camera the cable will not slip loose.
Bottom line: If you are looking for faster transfer speeds and a secure connection, this cable is for you.

Needed a cable to transfer video from Canon pro and Sony personal tape camcorders to my new iMac. This cable did the job well, no glitches, and the price is much less than I would have paid for a similar cable at a retail chain. Thanks, B & H!

Comments about Belkin FireWire 400/800 9-pin to 4-pin DV Cable - 6 ft:
After many calls back and forth between Sony & Apple we finally found the cord we needed to connect our Sony Handycam (that records with mini DVs) to the new Apple Macbook. Took forever to figure out that we needed a four to nine pin connection. Many said we could get another wire with adapter, but after a quick search on the B & H website we found this firewire, for the cheapest price, and bought it! It works great! We can finally transfer the video recordings to the computer and begin editing!
