How do you download from a Sony Camcorder to a laptop for editing without an ilink cable?

Q. How do you download from a Sony Camcorder to a laptop for editing without an ilink cable?

I have a USB cable but because I use Vista it is not compatible. Any patches or fixes for this problem?

A. Honestly, your best bet for transferring video from a Sony camcorder is to use an i.Link cable. Keep in mind, i.Link is nothing more than Sony's name for a Firewire cable (IEEE-1394). I use a 6-pin to 4-pin firewire cable all the time from several Sony camcorders, transferring video to both PC's and laptops running Vista. Works perfectly (and quickly)!

You can pick up a 6-pin to 4-pin Firewire (i.Link) cable at places like Best Buy. Shopping online though could save you $$$.

For example, Cable Stockroom has a 10 foot, 6-pin to 4-pin Firewire cable for a little over 5 bucks. A lot cheaper even with shipping. Here's the link specifically for that item:

Just make sure you select the proper pinout for each end! Your camcorder should have the small 4-pin, while a PC or laptop normally uses the 6-pin configuration.

Hope that helps!

How much should I expect for a dvd camcorder at a pawn shop?
Q. I have a camcorder that I have used maybe twice in the three years that I've had it so I figure selling it to make a couple bucks. Here are the details on it ..

Model: Samsung SC-DC173U
34x optical zoom
2.7' Wide LCD
No physical damage
Charger/adapter

Of course not expecting much for it but just wanted to know a rough idea of how much it would sell for.

A. About 5-10% of the original price. You might do better on eBay.
