Rating: Summary: Excellent cable to assist in transfers of your videos to PC Review: Excellent method for transfering your videos to your computer for editing and making CD's. The i.Link cable is easy to use. Make sure you order the right cable. I ordered the wrong cable a 4 pin to 4 pin which I believe only works if you have a Sony computer. Most other computers like my Dell will probally need the 6 pin to 4 pin cable. Also make sure your computer has the capability before ordering. i.LINK is also known as Firewire and IEEE-1394. It does provide excellent high speed quality video transfers.

Rating: Summary: Get a convertor box instead Review: Instead of this pick up a Plextor convertor box. It takes the output of the camcorder (composite/RCA or S-Video) and compresses that to mpeg-2 (DVD) or mpeg-4 (or DivX) and includes software which easily burns that to DVD or CD (mpeg-1 or mini DVD). Look for Plextor's M402U box. Unless you really want to deal with 3.125 MB of data per second (25 Mbps), or about 180 MB per minute, or about 11 GB per hour through the firewire link, get the M402U. Your options will be greatly expanded, and you won't tell the difference by looking.
