Unable to Import from JVC Camcorder GR-DVL9500 using 1394 cable to MacBook
Hi, I hooked my JVC Camcorder up, just as instructed, with a firewire cable from the DV in/out jack of the camcorder running to the firewire input on the MacBook. I brought up the iMovie and went to the menu to import the video on the camera. The box to import came up and I clicked automatic and IMPORT. As far as I can tell everything was going OK. I could see that on the camera the tape was rewound to the beginning, "uploaded" and rewound. I clicked DONE on the iMovie box.
After that, however, the movie never shows up. I had named it so as to be able to identify it, even though there is little on iMovie, and when I click on the name the response is that there is no movie matching the name. I've, tried the whole process over and over again, but nothing changes.
This is not a new JVC model, but I was able to move video from it to my PC without all this kind of trouble, so I don't know what is happening here. As I have dozens of good video DV videos to put on the Mac, I really hope that this is not the final answer.
All I can think of is that Mac might need some additional drivers or software, but that is a wild guess and I would not know where to find it anyway.
Your help is appreciated
(PS: I am sorry that I could not search for this topic, as search is "disabled." I too would not be surprised if the new iphone sales generated this as the retail store was packed with a long line outside at closing (9:30 PM) Saturday night. The online store assistant could not even get on her system to process an order for me that same night, and the iTunes was disabled this Sunday afternoon.)
