Q: Is it possible to connect a Sony VCR with HDMI output to a TBD

Everything is in the title. Is there any adapter or cable HDMI ->Thunderbolt ? My VCR is the HD Sony GV- HD700E.

    Thank you for the help !

     

    May be there is a possible turnaround. My TBD is connected to a Mac mini (the actuel one, I just buy it !). May be it is possible to see the tape from my Sony VCR thru a connection HDMI with the Mac Mini ?

    An other idea : I have a not very satisfying solution using the DV output of the VCR, plug into the firewire input of the Mac (using the Thunderbolt adapter). I can read the DV stream, using iMovie the same way I import movies from the VCR. BUT THE VIDEO IS NOT FULL SCREEN. Does somebody knows a DV stream reader ?

    Thanks a lot !
