Didn't work on laptopNovember 30, 2008 This cable drops frames with my laptop. I tried using it with my Canon ZR 950 to download video. It may be that my DV IEE port is too slow or not fully compatible. The cable is rather long which also may contribute to dropped frames. Bottom line it didn't work for me. UPDATE:I bought a firewire add on card and a Nvidia 6200 for my desktop and this cable worked fine.

The price for the cable is good. But during recording, sometime it lost conection, the recorder can not recognize the camcorder the cable connected, so I have to pull out and reconnect again.
Firewire Cable`November 22, 2008 What can I say, it works fine. no problem with data downloads to PC from my camcorder.
Works at First then Dies QuicklyNovember 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This product works immediately out of the box. However after about seven or so uses something happens and the cables don't work. As if there was a burn out of some sort. I have purchased two of these and it was the same result. You never see the problem coming. I'm a video journalist for a major NY newspaper website and it is the worst thing in the world to have a story due then have a cable suddenly just not function. You get what you pay for. There's a reason why the price is the price. Take your chances if your work doesn't matter. If your work means anything, invest in it.
Good productNovember 11, 2008 Worked for me with no problem. I use it between my MiniDV recorder and a DVD recorder to record to DVD. No issues.
