I am new to firewire. What cable do I need to get to put my home movies onto my new iMac? is it 4pinDV to 6 pin computer? Is it necessary to pay for monster, or can a less expensive cable do the same quality transfer?

Thank you!
 
a 6 pin to 4 pin IEEE1394 firewire cable. No, monster cables are a waste for anything digital like firewire. The computer sees a 0 or a 1, it doesn't matter if there is some interferance. Same thing as digital terrestrial tv, it either gets the full quality or not. Get the cheapest one you can find.
