Hi Alen, mp4 is a container format, which means it can contain audio and video encoded with almost any codec - alas, even Adobe Flash. So in answer to your question it depends entirely on the encoding of the contained audio and video. Cheers, Carlo Sent from my iPad On 30/04/2012, at 17:08,

Hi Merv, As far as I know USB and firewire are incompatible formats. Unless there is some sort of fancy conversion hub involved (that I am not aware of) no cable will be able to connect the two. Cheers, Carlo On 26/04/2012, at 21:28 , Merv Bond wrote: I have been looking on the net at

Hi Merv and Peter, I would be wary of those connectors. Notice they are all on resale sites, none are manufacturer sales. They could be fakes. As I said earlier, I don't believe it is possible to convert USB to Firewire with just a simple pin-to-pin cable. USB used the PC as the bus master
