quick question

Looks like it's on the camera. If it's a minidv camera it's probably firewire. If it's a still camera probably usb. In both cases the connector on the camerea end is usually proprietary.
 
Should be firewire. Don't you have the cable that came with the camera? If so, take a pic of the other end of it.
 
thats the prob if i had the cable i would know instaly...ineed to get a cable so i can edit the video for a school project
 
Like I said previously, if it's a minidv camera, then it probably is firewire, but the port on the camera is usually proprietary, so you are probably stuck with getting a cable from Sony.
Your pic is not a usb, but close to a small firewire, but firewire has 4 contacts and yours has 5
 
no its got 4 look again you probly had glare or something but there are 4 so im guessing its just a cheap 4p-6p firewire caable i need to get there are 5 black teeth but 4 contact points i think
 
If it's a sony it should be firewire, but the pic as I see it shows 5 tabs evenly spaced in that socket. The 4 pin firewire connector has 4 contacts evenly spaced, so I doubt that they will line up. Sorry, I don't have my camera here to show you a pic of it.
Take a look at this cross section 2nd on the left and you will see what I mean

The "i" is moulded into the plastic on your pic to the right of the socket, so it definately firewire.
The 6 pin was known as firewire and the 4 pin was commonly referred to ilink.
sniperruff probably has the best suggestion, just go somewhere and try one.
 
You're right, I wasn't looking at it that way. Go get a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cord. What are you waiting for?
