What is the last macOS that can handle DVCProHD via firewire (from Panasonic HVX200)?

I'd like to use my ancient HVX200 day after tomorrow in a small streaming event.

My "early 2009" macbook with osX 10.11 streams even 1080i/p nicely to QT7.
The "new" QTplayer has glitches in that.

MacOS 13.6.9 (mini2018) and 14.6.1. (M1pro) only shows 576i/p (yep, I'm in Europe), both in OBS and in QTplayer.

Would some panasonic's drivers or software help?

Does somebody know working sw + hw + os for DVCProHD firewire streaming?

I guess ancient computers are not powerful enough for OBS and fullHD streaming?
(My only working windows laptop with fw is also over a decade old...)

10.12 seems to work, 10.14 does not...
Would "pro codecs" help...?

Not sure if it’s a codec issue but my LifeFlix has imported regular DV on a new M4 Mac Mini.
