I’m trying to capture video from a Sony camcorder (bought about 18 years ago) to edit it on Shotcut. It’s a mini DV digital handycam. I connected the DV port on the Sony to the FireWire 800 port on an iMac (running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6).
I switched the camcorder to VCR and played the video, then went to Open Other in Shotcut and selected Audio/Video device, but nothing appeared. I tried turning the video recorder on and off, and disconnected and reconnected the cable, but it didn’t make any difference.
If anyone has any ideas I’d be extremely grateful. I can use a Windows 10 laptop if that makes things easier.
