Hi all, fairly new to the forum and recent, first time iMac owner.
I am off work due to surgery and thought it would be a perfect time to transfer some old DV footage from a Sony trv900 into my new 2012 iMac and iMovie. I have hours of tape to look through to extract footage of an old friend who has passed away.
My dilemma is how to transfer between the trv900 and the iMac.
I have googled extensively but have not figured it out.
I am not sure if the camera, which Sony simply calls dvi, is firewire 400 or 800.
The specs on my iMac are as follows:
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4
4 - USB 3 ports, 2 Thunderbolt, 1 ethernet.
I see Apple has a firewire/Thunderbolt adapter but not sure if it is firewire 400 or 800.
Anyone ever find themselves in the same situation who might offer a solution?
Thanks for any help,
Jeff
