I'm using this item to connect my Canon Mini DV camcorder to a Panasonic DVD Recorder and it works fine. I would point out the connectors are not gold plated as they appear in the picture.

What you pay is what you get. This is a cheap cable with very poor quality video/audio transfer. fuzzy lines and constant flicker on video. Used same TV set, same recorded footage from the same camcorder, same miniDV tape, and same DV recorder device; plus, used another cable of same type from Frys. Equal comparison - I am getting far better quality with comparable cable from Frys and better quality with my regular cheap AV cable. So, I will trash this cable.

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.

Save your money- don't buy a cable that costs eighteen times as much. This cable worked great between my sony digital 8 camcorder and my toshiba dvd recorder.

Can't beat the price, and it's worked perfectly connecting my camcorder to both of my computers.
