[RNLD] re: Computer - Video Camera Leads

[Stephen Morey]

Dear All,

Back in the late 1990s I purchased a Sony Camera and took lots of videos in the field which I could not at that time capture into my computer.

I still have some that I need to do.

The Camera only has what I think is called a 'Firewire connection' which is a very small rectangle with an indentation in the bottom. I have a cable with this connection on both ends. My old laptop had such a connection but the new one (of course) doesn't. Can anyone advise whether its possible to get a cable that has firewire at one end and USB at the other, and if I find such a thing, will it work, or are these two methods of transmitting data incompatible?

Thank you all

Stephen
