Both my Mac's are firewire 800 and need to edit some old DV video tapes. My old camera is firewire 400 and hence need to find a convertor from 800 - 400. Core don't keep anything like it and IC did not know what I was speaking about. Google revealed a nifty convertor made by Sonnet. Any ideas who keeps threse gadgets in Gauteng?
 
there is a place called HD cabling http://www.hdcabling.co.za/contact_us.php

http://www.hdcabling.co.za/18-meter...ire-400-9-pin-to-4-pin-cable-black-p-139.html this is what you are looking for not a convertor...

they have this specific cable you are looking for, seems any other place doesn't keep it in stock...

Hope this helps, they do do deliveries if you aren't willing to drive to centurion

Thanks for the lead. I was looking for the converter, but in its absence this cable will do the trick nicely.
 
There is a Phillips factory outlet at Stoneridge in Modderfontein that for reasons only they will understand have precisely this cable. At least, they did aout 6 months ago.
 
sorry just a q, why do you want to use the converter?

Simply because I also use my 400 - 400 Firewire cable on my Dell Studio 1640. Means less cables to lug around. Can then just use the converter when working on the Apples. Still in the conversion stage with my Apples. Thanks
