import from DCR-TRV12E to mac

Hi all,

I own a 10-year old DCR-TRV12E. It uses Mini DV, and doesn't have a memory card.

I'm having a hard time trying to import my Mini DV content to my new Macbook Pro Retina. The USB doesn't work. I bought two adapter cable to connect the 4-pin FireWire 400 socket on the Camcorder to the Lightningbolt socket on the Mac - no result: the mac doesn't recognize there's anything connected. I tried 'Quicker', 'iFunia', 'Wondershare', 'RecordPro' and, of course, iMovie - nothing.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Peter

Hi Peter and welcome.

If you are using the Apple Firewire adapter cable, it should be exactly the same as using the firewire socket on older models.

Are you following the tutorial for transferring to iMovie here: -
