Firewire is a method for transferring data from digital sources. It is extremely popular because it is the fastest method of transferring digital data. Therefore, people who edit video use firewire because of its ability to handle huge video files. An RCA jack is often used for viewing audio and video, but is not compatible with firewire ports. You can, however, use a converter box to convert RCA to firewire and load video content onto your computer.
