Both FireWire and USB-2 cable are capable of quickly transferring large amounts of data, which is essential for huge video files. Both are extremely common on brand-new equipment. Most computers and camera have both. Higher quality models have multiples of both.<\/p>\n
FireWire was originally a Mac-only thing, but today it’s common on PCs and most digital cameras.<\/p>\n
FireWire is also referred to as IEEE1394. TODAY FIREWIRE IS OBSOLETE AND INSTEAD THUNDERBOLT CABLES ARE USED. <\/strong><\/p>\nB<\/strong><\/em>e aware that USB-2 and USB-1 are not the same<\/strong><\/em>. All new computers should have USB-2, but older ones have USB 1.0 which is too slow and lacks capacity to transfer video. Today, USB3 is the standard.<\/p>\nIf you do not have fire wire or USB 2.0, don’t panic. You can buy an inexpensive USB 2.0 or FireWire card and install it on your computer. You can also get adapters. The card will include the jack, so make sure it matches with the rest of your equipment.<\/p>\n
