Easy said than done. When I pulled apart the firewire connector it had immediately under the plastic outer coat a web of fine wires which were insulated with clear wrapping from an inner nest of : two black wires and two additional web of wires each enclosing a green and red or an orange and blue wire.
This makes a total of 6 wires in all plus 3 layers of webbed wires.
A fine nest of stuff. Guess I will try and find which carry the digital video signal

It is unlikely you will blow anything up with the 2 devices you mention if it is not right the first time.
