I am trying to get video from a DV camera (that came out before firewire was the thing, so it doesn't have a FW connection) and from a VCR. My father wants to preserve a lot of home videos we have on tape and on DV tape... So I Suppose I am looking for a firewire device that connects RCA cables and converts them to Firewire for input.

Any quick help would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't really an iMac question, it's a Multimedia and DV question.

Still, sony makes a firewire to analog bridge, as does Dazzle.

Please, ask this question in the Multimedia forum! Thanks!
If this post is in the Lounge forum, it is likely to be my own opinion, and not representative of the position of MacNN.com.

If it doesn't have a FireWire port, it's not a DV camcorder!

I'm sorry

But it is a JVC Digital Video camera. It's just old (er).

Oh, and thanks for the info...
