The cable has worked flawlessly and the quality of the construction seems top notch.
Competitiveness
This helped me get my dv tape videos backed up onto a harddrive (via wife's macbook air with thunderbolt port).

It is time-consuming as the share from imovie takes over an hour to process for creating a high quaily mp4.
