Query: Simply DOESN'T work

As far as I can tell, this product simply doesn't work. I tried to use this product to connect my camcorder (and a friend's camcorder) to my MacBook Pro. The product didn't work except for a half a second when trying to connect my friend's camcorder (got a connection for a half a second, then, nothing.) Unfortunately, Belkin cords (recommended by Apple) cost $50 each! Why??? It's just a dang cord! It would appear that these people are making money by selling cords that don't work while Belkin is making money selling cords that (I assume) work for the 'low' price of $50 each. Whether this cord would work under any circumstances, I don't know. At any rate, however, I can say that this cord - for whatever reason - didn't work for me.
