mrn8 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I have a Canon Elura 80, and I would like to capture the video by running from the Dv port on the camera to the firewire port on my PC. Anyone know where I can get a good cable at a decent price? The local B&M's seem to all sell the Monster cables and the knock off's, and they are all $30 or more, because of the gold connectors. What a rip-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Radio Shack B&M has firewire cables on clearance for $14.95 (originally $49.99) that's worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw their Monster Cable knockoff on their website, and they are $34.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just discovered I was looking at the wrong cable (item 15-1063) but it's still worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-bystander Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Oh, have I got a deal for you. :) Do you need a 6pin to 4pin or 6pin to 6pin? FireWire Cables I think shipping is around $3.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrn8 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Wow, it took 10 days for them to process the order. I just got my order confimation today, but no shipping confirmation. The price was right, but they have got problems with processing orders, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-bystander Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 That's odd - when I ordered from them before, I think I got my confirmation within a few hours, and I got the product within a week.... Keep us posted. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrn8 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 It finally shipped. A full 17 days after I ordered. I'm glad I'm getting my stuff, but it's not a good way to run a business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
