Importing from a Sony DCR-TRV80

Hi,

I'm wondering is anyone has any success importing into imovie from a a Sony DCR-TRV80?

The camera indicates that it has DV in but imovie doesn't recognise it at all.
If iMovie can't import media from the camera does anyone know of any other software that can?

-k.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Hi

I think that Your Camera has FireWire-out (same as DV-out,iLink or IEEE 1394)

You must have a FireWire Cable. That one Camera was delivered with - DOESN'T work
it's an USB-cable and for bringing photos into Your Mac from Camera.

(4-pin - 6-pin FW400 or ?-pin FW800) cheque if Your Mac has a FW400 and/or FW800 port.

DV-in = That when connected OK You can import back to a new tape in Your Camera
BUT NOT WITH iMovie'08 or 09.

Only iMovie 1 to HD 6 and FinalCut Express or Pro

Yours Bengt W
