whats the cost of a firewire cable in Mumbai? I want to buy 1 for my Sony Handycam DCR-HC40. The USB 2.0 interface is bad for video transfer.

Also which brand if any?

In kolkata, Firewire cable is available at Rs150/-. Buy 6 pin to 4 pin cable for sony handycam. No particular brand.

It's not just a thought. Its a fact.

I own a sony handycam, and capture via usb sucks. It takes a hell of time, a lot of resources and produce poor quality vids. I then settled down for a Pinnacle PCTV Plus.

If you don't have Firewire ports on your PC, get a cheap INTEX Firewire card. The cable comes free with the package. Should be around INR 800 max.
