HDV Camcorder not recognized in FCPX/iMovie/Quicktime in Monterey (12.3)

You don't need to partition, which creates a fixed space. Just add a new volume to the container and install in there. The container is flexible, and the volumes can be any size until the space is filled.

It depends on the "usb stick" but most of these are extremely slow, and I would not install an OS on them.

I'd rather go with an external SSD (even if it is smaller; a 120GB SSD may cost what, $20?), and use additional storage on other drives as needed.

I tried to install Big Sur on a separate partition and it did not worked. I guess I created a new partition on my disk but I started importing Big Sur on the original partition and after importing ( more than 8 hours ), ending up telling me that I could not install an older OS on top of Monterey, I cannot even find the file that I was uploading.

My mistake was I restore with my oldest backup on top of my original system, there is still nothing on the second partition that I created. I have to find a way of installing my first back up from time machine on the new partition.

I am on a M1 Mac Mini 2020.

Have you reduced the startup security? You can't boot into a separate volume with full security.

I don't know if a separate partition will work on these machines. I know a separate volume will, assuming the machine originally came from the factory with Big Sur installed.

I would recommend you try the installation on an external SSD with the correction connection cable for the ports on that machine. Slower cabling will not work on the M1 machinines, unless that's been changing in the OS. I know that was case when Monterey was in development.

Just to add a bit of detail to my rather general comments . . . currently 70% of Apple's revenue comes from iPhone and iWatch etc. sales. Services account for nearly 16%. iPads are under 6%

Macs are just over 8% . . . if they stopped making computers today it would be no great loss to them.

I agree, we do not represent much in the balance of things, but I do not think that giving that support for tape cameras represented so much space in the os.

we will see. I fond a way to deal around it but it is not perfect.

Thank you all of you on this forum. I appreciated your inputs and will keep reading.

I work with Final cut studio and I Movie and I am happy.

I don't think there is an update. 12.3.1 has been around for a few days so I don't think that can be it.

This morning when I switched on my computer there were several emails which I glanced at and at least one said there had been an update (overnight?) that cured the problem.

I didn't check it and deleted the emails.

Since then I visited all the threads about Monterey FireWire problems but have not been able to find the information contained in the emails so it is a big mystery to me.

I am wondering whether someone posted the statement and later removed it which would account for how I received the email but could no longer find the information on the Apple Support Communities.

I am wondering how long I should wait for Apple to fix this issue with their OS and firewire/camcorders before I move on to a plan b. How do we know that this wasn't an intentional decision and not a bug? Has anyone within this community had experiences with Apple responding to niche problems such as this?

Thanks!

I can test HDV in my system currently running Monterey 12.3.

Will report back with findings.

I have the same issue. I would love to know if you figure out a way to make it work.

I have same issue too.

I believe this problem will occur in the new chip M1 machine, I hope you can improve this bug ASAP.

you can’t boot from Time Machine any longer. You can’t install in older OS on top of Monterey; you have to install it on a separate volume or drive.
