A Question:
On my old Performa 6250CD, I could connect my Canon ES970 Camcorder
into the video in on the performa. Now that I have upgraded to the Beige Minitower
266 running 1/2 gig of memory on OS 9.2.2 along with a scsi 9gig drive running OS
10.2.6, I cannot get the camcorder to come up in any programs or to be recognized.
Is this an extension problem or do I need to put a digital software into this mac?
Would love to use it for iMovie.
