I ordered this 1394 cable to extract some video stored on 25+ DV cassettes. My camcorder is a Sony HandyCam DCR-HC21, which is no longer compatible with Windows 7. I installed software directly from the Sony website that will allow you to use Win7 with the camcorder using the Sony recommended i-Link cable. Their i-Link cable costs over $65. For cables! I decided to try here and what do you know.! I now have all the videos on DVD! It took over 110 DVDs to store all my videos but hey! You're safe and we can go back and share memories on our flat screen. priceless! This cable rocks! Don't pay that much for an i-Link cable, this is where it helps. And another plus, this cable is very long! Well! I will keep it forever if I need it again.
