I have a Sony Hi8 and Mini DV recorder deck and both have a DV connector on the front.Just recently I bought a mac pro and there is only Wire Fire ports.I have and will use Final Cut Pro X for cutting/editing.Is there any cable or adapter available to connect the Sony and mac for this?Thanks for any help and suggestions ?
dv connector is also firewire. Sony does not use the term firewire because that is a trademark term owned by Apple, and no camcorder manufactures can use that name with out paying a royalty. So Sony calls it DV instead. all you need to make this work is a cable that has the Mac 9 pin firewire connector on one end and either a 4 pin or 6 pin DV connector on the other side.
