1.0 out of 5 stars Another overpriced digital cable!, November 19, 2001

Let me start by stating that I have nothing personal against Monster Cable. While they do make some nice cables, in some cases they offer no real benefit over inexpensive alternatives. The best example is digital cables. Anyone familiar with IEEE 1394 (otherwise known as I-Link or Firewire) should know that there is built-in error correction that can deal with any small amount of noise introduced into the digital stream. Since this corrects any minor errors, there is NO difference in quality between an adequate digital cable and an outstanding one.

Do yourself a favor and purchase an inexpensive Firewire cable for as little as ... instead of wasting your money on the ... version. Out of respect for ...I am not going to tell you where to purchase, but any resourceful shopper should be able to find them using the search engines.

Now analog cables.....that's a whole different story :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars Cost is way too high...., January 10, 2001

This product is over priced. These cables cost $10 at the high-end and "Monster Cable" has no business building these stupid cables. Save yourself a lot of money and buy a standard Fire-Wire cable.

A couple of years ago, video editing was a problem. It requiered big, expensive equipment, which were very difficult to use and, believe me, they didn't offer spectacular results! But now, with the IEEE-1394 cable, a new technology is born. Now, video editing is as easy as 1-2-3! You just connect one simple, light, but spectacular cable, from your camcorder to you home PC. And presto! With the simple help of a video editing program you can transfer dazzling images from your video camera to your PC! And after you edit your video, you can simply download it back to your camcorder! Like I said before, it's as easy as 1-2-3!
