Q: What applications can I use to transfer my Mini DV tapes onto Mac?

Hey Apple Community,

 

I'd like to learn about what you'd recommend for video transfering software. I'm using Mini DV tapes with HDV footage from my Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder. I'd like to avoid using my Final Cut 7 software when I transfer the footage because I'd like to be able to easily preview my videos before importing them into a video editing software.

 

I'd like a software that would import my tapes all as one long clip, and that automatically archived my footage in folders that I designated. I'd like a really user-friendly, basic software. I'll be using a Firewire 400 to 800 cord, with a 800 to Thunderbolt adapter to connect from my camcorder to my computer.

 

Do you know of any software applications that could accomplish what I'm looking for? What would you all recommend?

 

Thanks in advance!
