Import DV from JVC GR-D370u

Installed Quicktime Pro (for DV support) including uninstall QT on the Mac & install QT7 then upgrade to Pro & a got a Belkin Firewire 800/400 9 pin to 4 pin cable for connection to the JVC camcorder, followed the JVC instructions, but nothing happens - looks like camcorder and iMac do not see each other at all. Any ideas?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

a fw-connected camcorder isn't shown in Finder (the SystemProfiler will show it as an 'unknown device').

you need an app to import.. iMovie, FinalCut/express or /pro, Premiere, etc.etc.

btw. no need to install QTpro for handling DV .. your in- and de- and back'n forth-installing could seriously damage the whole System, due to QT is the basic component of media handling.
