Many thanks for sharing this information 👍

Hi friends, For the past 14 years, I have been using a Focusrite Saffire Liquid 56 paired with a mid-2011 Mac mini (FireWire Cable -> FireWire-Thunderbolt Adapter). A few days ago, I purchased a Mac mini M1, thinking I could still use this old interface via the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)-Thunderbolt 2 Adapter (which I do not yet have). However, I discovered by contacting Focusrite support that the interface is not compatible with the new ARM processors (or at least they have not tested it) and that the latest supported operating systems are Catalina and Windows 10 (Build 1809). At the same time, I came across videos from this channel which attest to a partial functionality of some audio interfaces with the FireWire protocol using a FireWire Cable -> FireWire-Thunderbolt Adapter -> Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)-Thunderbolt 2 Adapter. I thought, alternatively, that I could emulate a compatible x86_x64 operating system on a UTM virtual machine in the hope that the USB signal "passes through" and operate, albeit at significantly lower speeds, on the same machine. I wondered, in case I can't get it to work with one of these methods, what the solution (or advice) might be to avoid permanently abandoning the interface. Could I use ADAT with any compatible interface? If so, would this "tutorial" be useful for me czcams.com/video/Xd4aIzcbVcQ/video.htmlsi=5HIo7CTh_WPRAbvS? Do you have any other ideas? Thank you to anyone who will lose their mind over this total madness.

im so not excited to figure this out lmao

Hi Scott! Thanks for the great videos. I’m trying to transfer some footage from an old camcorder (Samsung VP-D371W) and keep running into issues. I wanted to ask for some help as I’ve now reached a stage where I’m stuck! What I’ve done so far: - Tried using an AV cable and an AV capture card. I got the camcorder to be recognised, however, I was only able to record audio and not video footage. - Now trying to use a DV cable and connect it to an old Macbook with a firewire port. When I turn on the camcorder and turn it to playback mode, then connect it to the laptop using the DV cable, the screens goes black for a second which indicates to me there is some sort of connection. However, no DV symbol appears on the screen like the manual if the camcorder says it should and the camcorder isn’t showing up on the macbook. What should I do? I’ve contemplated there being an issue with the camcorder itself but would like buying another one to be my last resort as that’s expensive. Any advice appreciated :)

Running Sonoma. I have all the adapters and the connection to my old Alesis MultiMix FW shows as working via the System Report, but it does not show up in Sound settings under Input or Output. Alesis no longer makes drivers... is there any other way to get these to show up?

Hey I got my film uploaded it's Windows XP & Windows 11 Team Advice that you'll like to see.

Is there a way to purchase that same CarPlay ?

Can you go mini firewater straight to usb ?

Ex-tre-me-ly helpful, thank you very, very much.

Does this work with FireWire 800

For me it says usb device not recognized 😢

Thank you I needed to correct food amounts and 3 meals. This task was so stressful in the past. you made it less stressful and doable.

Does anyone by chance know a workaround for Windows 11? Probably just gonna switch back to Win10 since it seems to be working for everyone there

I have the same car I’m loving it

Can’t you sell the I pad CarPlay sistem ?

Brilliant…..even using the same M-audio FireWire card I was enquiring about

Your awesome old macbook. Perfectly good condition and yet it is 2006 and has lines in the screen and won't boot up because of the STUPID apple updates that screw everything up and erase our history and best gadgets that worked best in the past. I am so upset...why does perfectly good equipment not allowed to work as time passes? That makes no sense. They should able to work as long as we care for them, not become obsolete from software updates. ANYONE ELSE WITH ME!?

How is this legal for Apple to do? I am sitting here cursing 😡🤬 This is not supposed to be this expensive and this many adaptors to get a simple job as converting VHS's done! This is all part of an agenda!

Hi, I followed all the instructions, however, once I start capturing a video it freezes after 1-5 minutes and stops capturing. I noticed when installing the K-Lite Codec, I don't have an option to tick MPEG-2 on the Hardware Acceleration page, could it be because of this? (I'm using an RTX 3070 Ti). Many thanks!

Bro how about the whole bunch of audio equipment like receivers and DVD players that have this connection but they call it differently? Like Pioneer for example and their ( i link ) or Denon but idk how they call it all I've seen from them was audio named (firewire 400/800 (ieee 1394/b) connector ) I'm especially interested in the Pioneers ( I link 400/800 ) because I have Pioneer VSA AX10i and can it work with Windows PC and how... But I guess you are not into this anymore lol I mean it is 3y/o video and you can be who knows how bz with other things these days... Like life 😂 😂

congrats man but just watch out for depreceation, if I was you I wouldve bought a 1yo tesla and saved a ton

WHAT TYPE OF SPEAKERS ??

Congrats on your new car!

Genius

Which brand and link is this. And is this a hybrid or gls sonata ??? Link to buy

no one is gonna do this like what

I have a JVC GR-D850U miniDv camcorder. I am trying to transfer video to computer. It does have a DV port on camcorder. My camcorder seems to work other than the LCD screen lighting up so I can press play etc.. I am wondering if it's possible to still transfer data from the miniDVs to computer without using the LCD screen?

Does it work with camcorder control software in such manner that you can rewind or ff through the software?

THANK YOU🎉 I'm one of those ise technically challenged you refer to. This was so great, so helpful. I'm all set well, Sushi the Kitty is😻

I was right.

This is a lot like me that's working with Windows 11 and XP I kind of think that a USB is handy without the Thunderbolt cord.

Love this feeder! My first one lasted 10 years. I'm now onto the second one and I purchased the same exact model. Thanks for the video as a reminder of how to set these things! Once I do it, I never mess with it, so it's easy to forget how to program 😂

will this work for the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40? been having a connection problem and i keep buying and returning different adapters and cables. but i know that the computer i have works but its just the set up. any clue?

I need help! I don't have a thunderbolt, thee is something I can do, for don't waist mi video

Ive got Panasonic NV-DV2000 DV PLAYER and Id like to transfer tapes to Imac. But my Imac cant see dv player...why? can you help me please. Thanks

You mean Lectrofan?

If you buy an old Mac, does it matter what operating system it runs or does it only matter if it has a firewire port? Thanks for your videos!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your mini dv camera is the Canon Vivia HV40 correct? For those who have this camera it has an HDMI port. You could save yourself the time and captured video through there and save time and money with all the extra steps you outlined. But for those who don't have this camera, the steps you outlined are good.

does the laptop not require a firewire card???

The Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter has been discontinued. They are currently selling for $70+ on eBay. I guess I'll have to go the AV route.

Great video sir. I use an old Sony Handicam 1394 4-pin to older Lenovo 410s, 420s and some 510s, 520s to run older Dartfish software video capture with time code for rowing regatta video replay timing system. Some of those Lenovo's transmit fuzzy analyzer video while others are OK. Can't figure out why. Alos, the 4-pin ports are VERY fragile. If you force the cable in, the pins will crush to the back of the port and render it useless. The Sony hvr z1 or v1 replacement port mentioned below 12 days ago solves this issue if you're a handy fixer. Will check out your laptop list and maybe try a Dell XPS instead of the Lenovo's going forward.

Even in my 2017 Chevy cruze, the usb port doesnt provide enough power to charge a phone. But i might have a Y cable somewhere, ill have to try this.

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from a MiniDV camcorder to it the way I used to with my 2011 MacBook Pro that had built in firewire ports (that one died so can't use it). The camcorder has a 9 pin firewire port (female) and the Mac has Thunderbolt 2 ports (doesn't have USB-C). Is there a direct way to go from firewire 9 pin to thunderbolt 2?

2024……just stopping in to say all good with my auto feeder. Wanted to give u a comment to help u out if it does an see if still here in case I need ya. Love this feeder. Highly recommend.

let me ask this bluntly, i only have usb and usbc. am i screwed? (my laptop is a lenovo ideapad 330S-15arr if that matters)

Can't I just use a USB-A to Firewire 4 Pin?

So I have a MacBook pro 2011 with firewire port. I have been able to transfer video using iMovie, OBS, and LifeFlix. But I am not having success capturing audio. Any suggestions? You seem the most knowledgable and clear in your explanations than others I have seen on YT. I appreciate any ideas you might have.

3:39 that is a issue i see on many camcorder forums. The solution i found is that you should never leave any device on when connecting the firewire cable otherwise you can short circuit both of the boards To fix your camera i would suggest swapping the port of the camera you had with the camera you bought (did this with my sony hvr z1) it should be a pretty quick fix with sony cameras, but i dont know about canon…

Hi! Just wanted to ask if the newest version works with firewire! I know its tiring to inform us all for 2 years so i thank you for your patience.
