This cable was purchased for my sony digal video recorder. It works very well and allows my sony computer to control my camcorder. I recommend this cable, which does not come with any of the leading manufactuers. I would buy this again.

I admit, I was sceptical at first. A local store had an IEEE-1394 cable for $25. I received this $1 cable as promised - 2 meters (6 feet). I've tried it several times linking my HP Pavillion with a Sony digital/tape video camera and have had absolutely no problems. It works as it should, and I'll continue to use it. Some reviewers reported problems later with usage. I'll be sure to let you know if I have any in the future. So far, so good.

I bought this cable because it had so many good reviews. It worked the first few times I used it, but now when I capture video from my hv20, I get hundreds of dropped frames, in even 1 or 2 minutes of footage. Now I have to buy a brand new cable ... Ugh.

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.

Seems to be a quality made cable. 4-pin to 4-pin firewire, used it to connect a Canon MiniDV camcorder to a Panasonic DVD recorder. The 3/16" outside diameter cable is fairly flexible. Made with a clear plastic covering over a silver braided shield. Smooth working connectors were easy to connect and disconnect. Can't beat the price.
