Or you order a new Camcorder to create Video movies for home.
They do not come with the DV cable.
There are too many models on the net to choose the correct cable.
4' Retractable IEEE 1394 (FireWire) 6-Pin to 4-Pin Cable.
The same problem with the rechargable battery.
Firewire cable
Your DV cam will have four pin, your PC may have 4 pin, but will probably be
six pin.
A four pin - to six pin will function just fine.
The two additional pins are power supply.
So if you connected an external HD it would
draw it's power supply via the six pin connection.
A Dv cam would be too demanding a drain on your PC
So ensure the DV cam has fully powered battery or is
connected to it's charger.
Just purchase a connector that matches your configuration,
which is assumed to be a 4 pin to 6 pin.
Batteries are a diff proposition, some manufacturers now
produce proprietary hardware configurations (so you are
restricted to their hardware only).
Your post is too obliquely bizarre to accurately answer,
I now remember why I abandoned this group....
