import mini dv tapes iMovie FC Pro mac mini M1 OS 12.1
Thanks to advice from this site I was finally able to record my ancient mini dv footage onto my desktop using Quicktime "new movie recording". The initial issue was that iMovie & FC Pro broke every recording - no matter the length - into 1 second clips. Unmanageable. Using Quicktime I could determine the length of each clip by starting and stopping each import and saving to a file. Then the plan was to import these saved clips into FC Pro, or iMovie if necessary. A little clumsy, but it worked.
Now however, upon review, it seems that even though Quicktime recorded the video properly, it did not record the audio.
Now what?
