Mini DV transfer

[Mathmosman]

Hello

I've lost a lot of our home video due to a PC loss, and want to transfer them to a Mac now... It's a Sony DV camcorder, but I don't seem to be able to transfer/capture on the Mac. I've purchased a new DV to USB firewire cable... but anyone any suggestions as to my next steps?

A video capture device, May not be the best but it should work

Never had any joy with the usb type capture devices, had to use a FireWire cable and connectors to copy all my ones to the PC.

Yes, but any suggestions as to which?

I had one for my PC but it's not playing nicely just now, hence, I'm trying the mac

If your PC has a space pci port I would look for used FireWire card and cable on eBay.

Or as a last resort pay a company to transfer them to a hard drive.
