Transferring Mini DV tapes to iMovie on a Mac book pro
Finally I was able to get the FireWire leads and connectors to connect my Sony camera to my Mac book (2019) running the latest OS In I Movie. To my surprise it registers and I started to import I had done several tapes and as they are in real time I stoped and started the next day. The camera didn’t show up at the next attempt I kept trying. It appeared again , so I did one more tape. Then it would not recognize the camera and since then I have not been able to transfer any tapes ( I have about 120 tapes to do ) I also tried a DV tape deck and a different camera , no luck , of course the leads and connectors are checked and all as before. Why why why .
