This is a Firewire cable, also known as DV or IEEE 1394. Sony call it i.Link. It is not compatible with USB and you cannot get a lead to connect it to a USB port. There are converter/adapters that are supposed to allow Firewire to connect to USB but many forum posts say they do NOT work for video transfer. Unfortunately, most Mini-DV cameras will not transfer video by USB cable, even when they have a USB connection (it is usually only used for still pictures).
Most PCs have a USB port, but no Firewire port. Macs often have a Firewire port but may not have USB. If you had a desktop PC, you could fit an add-on Firewire interface card to the expansion bus. This will come with a driver for the card.
I have a Samsung Mini-DV, and do transfers with it to the one computer I have that has a Firewire port. It is the only thing I use that computer for, and the reason I haven't thrown it out.
You can download it here:- http://www.nodevice.com/user_manual/samsung/camcorders/vp-d101.html .You will see the correct download button just below the label 'Download Samsung VP-D101 User manual' which is over halfway down the page. You will need to enter the code number shown a bit smudged in the picture, then wait for about 30 sec countdown and click 'try again' if nothing happens after a few moments. It will take a minute or so to download the manual as a PDF file which you can then save on your PC.
Hi,
The only way to download your video to your computer is by using a firewire cable. You will also need a firewire port on your computer. If you don't have such a port you can buy a PCI firewire port.
After you have connected your camera to your pc using the firewire cable you can transfer your video using a video editing software. You can use Windows Movie Maker that comes with Windows.
Hi there. I can help you with that.
You need an IEEE 1394 cable. It's also known as Firewire (apple), or I-Link (Sony). It doesn't matter. Just go down to your local electronics store or Best Buy and ask for Firewire cable (they will know what you're talking about). That will fix you. Thanks for coming to FixYa and please rate my answer according to your satisfaction.
