    This adapter is exactly what I needed to connect my Sony Handycam and my MacBook to transfer my video tapes to digital. Dropped them right into iMovie and made a great movie for my daughter's graduation party!

    This FireWire cable saved me from losing all of the unsaved info when my Mac crashed. I also love that it came with an adapter to allow 400 or 800 connection

    I bought a presonus project and need FireWire 800 to 400 and bought this adapter and did not work. Tried different ports and no luck. Trashed it after I bought a different cable.
