Re: Hi-8 camcorder to Mac/iMovie to videotape?

[Tom W.]

Are you using a firewire cable? If you are, imovie or premiere or final 
cut should recognize it and then if your dv camera has an analog in, you 
should be able to just hook up your high 8 camera (or older composite 
out type cameras) and pass it through the dv camera to your recording 
software.. Make sure that your firewire extensions are enabled.
