Review: Good. - Good value.
Review: The cable looks good quality but didn't work for camcorder/laptop video transfer - I bought this cable to connect my camcorder to my laptop to tranfer videos. It didn't work so I had wasted my money. A search on Youtube eventually revealed a video that said it wouldn't work. What a pity I had not seen the Youtube video first. Apparently I need an electronic converter device to fit between camcorder and laptop. Perhaps this cable will be needed for that. I may yet find that I haven't wasted my money. Anyway the cable looks good quality and the failure is not the cable's fault but camcorder/laptop compatibility.

### ⭐ Firewire to USB cannot exist
*by A***N on 25 June 2024*

After doing some research because the cable didn't work, I found that Firewire to USB cannot possibly exist. THIS IS A SCAM PRODUCT! I have put the reason why it cannot exist just below but I urge you to look it up for yourselves too. "On computers, Firewire and USB work quite differently. USB was first introduced in roughly 1995 and was famously showcased by Bill Gates when it crashed a Windows PC at a tech expo. USB has safety and security layers to it that make it a LOT more secure than Firewire. It does increase the latency and slows the bandwidth a bit too. But this isn't an issue in modern USB. Most computers have a PCI bus. This bus can directly address memory and interrupts on the system. Which can me a massive security hole. To prevent this and make USB more hot-pluggable, an OHCI/UHCI layer exists between the USB root hub and the PCI Bus. This means that no USB device can directly access the computers internal memory spaces or the interrupts of the system. Firewire however, can directly access the memory of the system. Not only does Firewire operate on different voltages than USB, but since it can also address memory directly on a PC/MAC it makes it completely incompatible with the USB interface and protocols. This shows that there is no manner of adapter that you can make, that would allow it to work. No adapter you construct would allow the USB root hub to access the PCI bus like Firewire can. You can consider this a limitation of USB."
