My video camera did not come with a cord to connect to my computer. I went to walmart and bought a cord made by Belkin that came with several different connectors and the one that seems to fit i don’t think its the right fit.
My camera is a Sony DCR-HC38 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder with 40x Optical Zoom
On Amazon.com people who bought the camera also bought Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin / 6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire. Is this the cord I should get. When I contacted sony I was advised to buy this cord http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/ecom/accessories/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=534105&category=1&categoryName=Camera/Camcorder&searchOperation=modelSearch&searchText=DCRHC38.
I am also uncertain if its a cord to connect when you open the LCD screen or is it the one that connects in the rear that says IDV. I think thats the place for the Ilink.
The Sony DCR-HC38 is just like any other miniDV tape based camcorder… it uses the DV (also called i.Link) port (this is a 4-pin) and connects to the firewire port (not USB) of your computer. If you don’t have a firewire port, install one. The port installed on the computer will be most likely 6-pin… but can be 4-pin. It depends what you have or decided to install. You need firewire400 (Also known as i.Link or IEEE1394a) not firewire800.
