DCR TVR 350 video camera to mac Book pro w/ Final Cut Pro?

I haven't done this yet, waiting on a DV to Firewire cable for the type of connector on older Mac Book Pro.

I understand that I may need a driver from SONY for a Mac. I checked with SONY, the only driver available is for iMovie.

So even if I get the cable and do all the set-up correctly, I do not expect it to work.

Unless someone has a direct solution, I will probably have to import my DVR camera video to a PC running Win XP using

Windows Movie Maker [ which produces .wmv the files]. Then I will FlashDrive that video to the Mac and run

"Free MP4 Converter" app to produce an .MP4 video file that Final Cut Pro recognizes.

I am open to a more direct solution. Thanks JG

Thanks everyone for your support.

YES, getting the correct cable with the CORRECT CONNECTOR [DV 4 pin to Firewire 9 pin]

solved the problem.

I just xfered a Digital tape from 2009 from the DVR camera

directly into Final Cut Pro on my MacBookPro w/o a

problem. No SONY driver is needed like you said.

Again thanks to all. JG

Thanks.

DV to Firewire cable s/b here Monday.

I'll try a direct xfer from the camera to FinalCutPro.

Expecting a DV to Firewire cable Monday for my 13' Mid 2012 MaBookPro running OS 10.15.7.
