I am trying to figure out what cable and how to connect my Canon Optura 100MC camcorder to a device (ClearClick video capture box) and can't seem to get it connected. Anyone know what cable and how to connect?

I can't get an Optura manual because it is so old.
What type of outputs does it have?
Composite? S-Video?
Firewire?
Can you post a picture of the video connections?
My Sony had Firewire, composite and S-Video
Firewire was a firewire connector (duh)
S-video a round DIN connector
Composite was what looked like a stereo phone jack that had a special adapter from the jack to RCA standard video cables.

You need to get a AV out -> RCA for the camcorder and the RCA->av in cable for the recorder. You might need rca barrels to connect them.
Best quality would be via DV Out (firewire). If you have an older Mac with TB1, you can get an adapter from Apple.

The AV out to AV in isn’t working so far. I will try the S-connector once I get a cable.

You need the av-out working to get audio.

As @kvbarkley recommends, S-video or firewire will yield the highest image quality.
