JVC SR-VD400US to ADC (ADVC-300) via firewire?

adondeeres · 05-03-2008, 7:39 AM

Is it possible to have my JVC SR-VD400US output via firewire to my Canopus ADVC-300 which then outputs to my computer via firewire? Would this be significantly better than the method I'm using now, which is outputting the JVC VCR to the ADVC-300 via composite or s-video? I currently don't own a 4pin-4pin firewire cable to test this out--I only have 4pin-6pin and 6pin-6pin.

Although the manual states that connecting the JVC VCR to computers via firewire is not "guaranteed", I tried it anyway for a brief moment and found that my computer can control the VCR through firewire and it also captures the analog video as mpg and not avi. I guess this is pretty obvious in hindsight since the VCR wasn't meant to be an ADC.

All opinions are welcome.
