[MacDV] Re: 4-pin & 7-pin s-video cables

[Claire Hart]

O.k.  I had tried it last year on my iMac and somehow couldn't get it 
to recognize the connection, so I just packed it up for the time being. 
  However, that cable is almost square on the camera end, and is a 
standard Firewire on the other end (no pins).

Thanks,
Claire
