Has anyone here had the oportunity to use a firewire longer than 4? I would be interested to hear first hand how a cable like that worked out in a real world situation. Thanks

Yes, I've used a 100' firewire cable from a camera to a deck with no problem. However, I tried the same 100 footer from a computer to an external firewire drive and it did not work at all; the drive wasn't even recognized.
I just came across this site. They seem to have high quality cables at a decent price: http://www.1394store.com/eshop/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=6 Note that on thier 20M cable they state that it is good for "camcorder applications only", hence the problem I had... I did buy their firewire networking software, it works great. You can connect two computers via a firewire cable at up to gigabit ethernet speeds. The software is somewhere around $15 for each user license...check out the details, it's pretty cool |

I bought today at MicroCenter, a QVS (generic) 10ft ieee1394 cable for $19.99.
Should I return it and get a shorter one? I really don't wanna deal with dropped frames, but maybe i'll give it a try anyways.

If I may chime in...
I once bought a 6 ft, $10 firewire cable from target. The audio on the captured video had some constant popping, as if the sampling rate between the camera and computer were slightly different. I switched to a $30 Circuit City cable (I think it was also 6 ft, though), and the audio problem went away.

The quality on that one should be legit, they are a pretty big and make a lot of accessories for Apple stuff. I haven't seen any of the Sony iLink cables round here, so that will do. I'd rather not have to deal with capturing issues. EDIT Well I returned the generic one, and got a 3' Belkin one for $24.99. Short but oh well, I hope I will not have any issues with capturing.
