No, 1394 cables transmit data independently of length.
It is only a couple inces as it is not a cable.
It uses isochronous data transfer, the transfering of data continously without interruption or breaks.

IEEE 1394
1394 Cables have 9 pins on one end and 4 pin or 6 pin connector at the other end to connect a 1394a device to a 1394b computer port to run at a slower speed.
Firewire was originally created by Apple and was later stadardized as IEEE-1394. This proceded USB because it had similar goals. The difference is that IEEE-1394 was originally intended for devices and digital audio equipment.
Easiest way is to connect the camcorder to the PC via a fire wire cable, or if your computer has av inputs, you can do that. You can use Microsoft Movie Maker which comes as a standard accessory on windows xp to capture your images and save them on your PC. Here's a link for this cable information.Firewire/1394/iLink Cable If your computer only has USB ports, take out the tape and borrow a USB-capable camcorder to transfer video to your PC through the USB connection. Good Luck. Easiest way is to connect the camcorder to the PC via a fire wire cable, or if your computer has av inputs, you can do that.

FireWire (technically known as an IEEE 1394 interface), introduced by Apple in 1995, allows a fast connection for peripherals such as video cameras. It is similar to a USB connector. The original version is now known as FireWire 400. FireWire 800 was introduced to give faster transfer speeds and supporting longer cable lengths without loss of signal. The connectors for the 400 and 800 versions are not interchangeable but converters are available which will allow FireWire 400 equipment to be connected to the FireWire 800 port at the slower connection speed.
The FireWire will be disabled until the USB cord is disconnected. Once disconnected, you can only charge your iPod with the FireWire. 1394 (FireWire) does not support data transfer to the iPod...
Yes, you can as long as it is 1394b.
The IEEE 1394 interface was largely developed by Apple and is marketed by them as FireWire.
