Most of old DV Cameras can only transfer the video recorded on DV-Tapes through a Firewire or IEEE cable
the most important thing about purchasing this cable is the end jacks of this cable that comes in two sizes (some how like USB cables or HDMI cables)
so as your cam has the small IEEE port your cable has to be small on one end.
depending on your computer or laptop IEEE socket you have to choose small or large jack on the other end of your cable.

As has been mentioned you will need to connect the camcorder to a computer via a FireWire port. The port is not standard in computers made in recent years. However, if you have a desktop computer you can still purchase a FireWire card to install in the computer. You will have to find a legacy FireWire driver if you are using an OS newer than Windows 7. A legacy driver is available from Microsoft. Another option is to find a video capture device that has a FireWire port to connect the camcorder to and most likely connect to the computer via a USB cable.
