Lots of video cameras and analog (eg. Composite video) to digital video converters had FireWire interfaces. At the time Apple (Final Cut Pro) and Sony (Vegas) also dominated the video editing software market.
That’s true, it was big in the media world for a minute. Perhaps because Sony Vaio and Apple computers were used heavily in that space?
As I recall, Firewire was faster and more capable than USB, but USB was cheaper to implement on small stuff like mice and keyboards, so it became the defacto standard.
