  1. DCR-HC52, a miniDV vcam, must be iLink/ FIREWIRE400**-connected to pc to upload video thru video capture or video editing* software while vcam is ON PLAYBACK.  

    for starters, free Windows Movie Maker* (XP-Vista-wmm6) provides simple & easy way to learn the ropes < click help for details>. Upgrade to intermediate video editing applications accdg. to need & skill level

          video editing process- wmm6

          >>> open wmm: start/all programs/wmm->TASK pane

    1. Import/Capture video stream** - editing software remotely controls vcam operations

    2. Edit- drag/drop video files->timeline & enhance w/effects, transition, music & titles

    3. Publish (render)- save Movie –OK for youTube, also save Project.msmmw file

  2. there does not exist model no.in this wires.so the wire 4/4 is perfect for your notebook.

    price could be lower as i searched for you at ebay.Buy with confidence.at ebay

  3. it should work fine without any extra software as long as you have a good editing program that recognizes Sony firewire - which can be weird at times.  Depending on your camcorder, you might have to make an adjustment to an option or two in the camcorder menu.
