Cable is working perfectly. What a joy to be able to transfer video to my computer. I bought tis cable used, but it showes no sign of wear at all. I did however expect it to be a JVC brand with a core filter. Maybe thats what all the braided sheilding is for. Regardless, I havn't gotten any interfearence so I'm happy.

Unfortunately I have yet to test to see if this product actually works though the outside packaging seemed like the legit real deal [i.e. sony's and not a knockoff]. Unfortunately the latest version of apple doesn't support my camcorder and my personal laptop does not have an ieee firewire port. therefore i will not be able to test/use the product for a while

I received a used JVC mini-dv camera. The cable that came with it was four pin on the computer side. Since my computer only has six pin firewire and I do not like adapters, I purchased this cable.

The cable did exactly what it was suppose to do, allowing me to transfer content from the mini dv tapes to my computer and even allows me to control the camera from within Linux (via kino). I am extremely satisfied with the product.

The product was exactly what we expected, and arrived VERY quickly. We appreciate this seller.

The cable was fine...but the way Crutchfield chose to ship it was environmentally wrong. They put a tiny cable in a very BIG box that was overfilled with packing peanuts. When packing peanuts are disposed of improperly (which most folks do) they will take the current of air and trash up the envoirnment. Some float out to sea where sea creatures see them and think they are food and eat them, and eventually die. Even if the peanuts are "biodegradable" that doesn't mean they degrade quickly or that they are edible. Too bad Crutchfield chooses products that work well for their business...but don't work well for the rest of the world. I returned the product.

Amazon sent me an email asking me to write a review of this product. Usually I like to have actually used the product before writing a review, but since I haven't received it yet, that is not possible. It has been over 1 month since I ordered this with the Crutchfield storefront at Amazon.com. Amazon's site indicated the product was in stock, but since ordering, it has been placed on back order twice and expected to ship in a few days from now. I just wonder how it could take so long to get a product from manufacturer to end user. I don't know where this is manufactured, or who Crutchfield's supplier is, but needless to say I am not entirely pleased with this whole process... which doesn't really have anything to do with Amazon. I hear DV cable does it's job, but I'll have to wait and see.
