Hi Rich
My environment:
A) MacBookPro 2015 OS BigSure 11.x iMovie 10.2.1
B) MacBook Air 2013 OS Catalina 10.x
Task: I'd like to import Mini DV from a SONY Handycam DCR PC-330 PAL
Problem:
In advance many thanks and best regards from Zurich
Arthur
MacBook Pro
Then your next best option is to dual-boot the MacBook Pro - setup a partition (or an external drive) with Catalina. Use this to boot the MacBook Pro to manage the imports. The resulting video files will be on that partition/drive, so easy to incorporate back into your workflow when you reboot into Big Sur.
Not ideal, but it's your best bet at using legacy hardware that isn't supported by the latest OS.

What about the obvious? Import the video files on the MacBook Air/Catalina, then move the files to the MacBook Pro/Big Sur for editing?
Thanks! Of course that's what I've done but I share the MB Air with other users. And I have to import a lot of Mini DV's....
In the future I'll work only with the MB Pro.
Hi, Artamaa,
My response to your previous post makes the same suggestion as Camelot's post in this thread.

Great idea Camelot, many thanks :-) I'll try this option tomorrow, giving you feedback asap. Best, Arthur
