| 1393874 | 2015-02-09 21:19:00 | I have a Sony HD Video Camera Recorder - Model HVR V1P. I have only the camera, a battery charger, and a couple of tapes to record video on to. I need to know how to import the videos I have recorded on to my MacBook Air so I can edit them in iMovie. I'm not sure if this is possible. Does anyone know??? | Ngatee (17337) | ||
| 1393875 | 2015-02-09 21:35:00 | It looks like this cam has firewire / 1394. If the mac has firewire, buy a firewire cable It'll be faster than USB for video. According to the manual online the IEEE 1394 connection maybe beside the HDMI connection |

| 1393876 | 2015-02-09 21:47:00 | Generally sony have their own software for transferring video so you may need to try and figure out if that's the case here. It's an older model so that may make it tricky, manual here www.sony.co.uk |

| 1393877 | 2015-02-09 22:37:00 | Thanks guys! Speedy Gonzalez my mac does have a firewire cable. I have to get one. but do you or any of you happen to know how I can actually get my computer to pick up on the camera once I have plugged it in? I've plugged it in through a USB connector and opened Play Memories Home (A Sony software that is supposed to read video camera files on Mac computers). The camera is on and on VCR mode. The screen says "USB Connecting - Disconnect device from computer before exiting." ...... but still it is not reading or connecting? I think it is on memory stick mode I have no idea what this means Can someone please help? |

| 1393878 | 2015-02-09 23:15:00 | Should be able to import through i movie,looks like your camera is high end ,did it come with the software? Have a Sony camcorder and imported through Windows Moviemaker,even not knowing about i movie would say it would pick it up |

| 1393879 | 2015-02-09 23:19:00 | If it uses a memory stick you could also use the memory card reader. If the mac has one (and if it supports a memory stick) Do you have the manual for this cam? |

| 1393880 | 2015-02-09 23:41:00 | The Memory stick on mine is for taking Still pic's not video and does work with the card reader | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1393881 | 2015-02-10 00:13:00 | This is the manual www.sony-asia.com I've read it but from my understanding it seems like I need an HVR DR60 hard drive with an iLink cord to connect the camera to my laptop. Surely there must be another way?! I've tried doing the memory card thing but it won't record video on to the memory card I think it is for pictures... | Ngatee (17337) | ||
| 1393882 | 2015-02-10 00:35:00 | You can get them on trade me, i link is also known as fire-wire(IEEE 1394) | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1393883 | 2015-02-10 01:03:00 | Thank you so much. I'll definitely try get hold of an iLink/FireWire cord. but for the mean time I am trying to meet a deadline so I just need to ask.. The camera will not read on my Mac or a PC through the USB port connection. The camera screen keeps saying "USB Connecting" (but not actually connected). Anyone know anything about this? and how I might read the camera on my Mac using a USB connector? |
