Hi, I've just got my new iMac and was trying to copy over some old miniDV movies from my Sony Handycam. I've connected the Handycam via a firewire cable but the iMac isn't detecting it. Any suggestions as to what I might need to do? I tried installing the original CD that came with the Handycam (ImageMixer) but that didn't work (i followed the instructions but couldn't get it to install. I copied over the .sit file but double clicking on it just produced a text file of gibberish (sorry guys I'm a MAC newbie), instead of showing a _install as suggested. I also checked out the imagemixer website but was sure what I should be doing and if I even need their software to pull the video off the tape? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Ignore me, just opened iMovies and it worked! I thought it would have shown on the desktop first of all. My mistake!
