How do I transfer my video from a dv cassette camcorder to my computer?
I need to get the footage from our basement flooding in 2005 to the lawyers in Chicago that are handling our class action lawsuit.
I have a CANNON dv recorder that takes those small dv cassettes and a macbook. I want to take just the footage of the flood and send it to him in a
email. I don't want to send or lose the family stuff.

On Mac no clue, Final Cut Pro? lol I'm pretty sure that shit is expensive.
I used Ulead software, it's now Corel Visual Studio or something but it's Windows. Might have a Mac version.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

You should be able to connect your video camera directly to your firewire port on the Mac (assuming it's fairly new) and import your video feed
directly into iMovie. (Which I believe is included with all Apple computers.)
Two words, one promise. XXX

I have imovie but I have the white MACBOOK and apparently it doesnt have FIREWIRE. FIREWIRE is the only way to tranfer video from CANON so I can' tuse
my MAC. SO I have to use another PC which sucks, but whatever. Looks like my next MAC will need firewire. Do they come with it on MACBOOK PRO's?

Can you give me your computer's model number?
- Go to the apple in the top left corner and select 'about this mac'
- In the window that opens, click 'more info'
- In the next window that appears, you'll see 'Model Identifier'
Tell me what is says there. For example, mine is MacBookPro4,1
They make FW to USB cables, but I just want to make sure that would work for ya first. how much video are we talking about?

i had to use an old PC and I think everything worked out. I did have to buy a firewire cord at $40 so that sucked.
BD if you know of some way I can do this in the future for my MAC please let me know what I would need to do. I have imovie and it looks really
fucking sweet to use so I really want to figure a way I can with my camcorder. Maybe there is an USB attachment I can use with the firewire to make it
work? No one at BEST BUY new of one.
