I have a Sony DVR Model

I have a Sony DVR Model # DCR-HC96.  I have iMovie '09, version 8.0.6.  The Apple customer support doesn't list my camera as compatible with iMovie.  I have had iMovie and Sony DVR's for almost ten years.  I'm trying to my old mini cassettes into digital files and am wondering, should I get the new iLife '11 and would that fix the problem or do I need to get a new video recorder?
Thanks so much!

This camera works with both iMovie 09 and iMovie 11 (and all the older iMovies, too.)
If you read the supported cameras page, you will notice that no miniDV cameras are listed individually, because they all work.
For this camera, you need a Firewire connection. USB will not work, except to remove photos from the camera if you take stills.
If you have FW800, you need a 9 pin to 4 pin firewire cable.
If you have FW400, you need a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable.
The camera must be plugged in to AC power (not batteries) when importing.

    i have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance. If not, is there a different route i can take to get those recordings in to my mac pro?

    See if the cam shows up under Devices in the Image Capture app.
    Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.
    Launch Image Capture then connect the camera.
    The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
    Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
    You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
    Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.

    Jose A.-
    What ports are on the Sony?  The digital adapter should work with an HDMI port.
    If the Sony does not have an HDMI port, there are also VGA, Composite and Component AV adapters available from Apple.
    There is some additional info at <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108>.

  • Problem capturing from a Sony DVR-HC51e

    Hi there,
    as it says, I can't seem to get FCE to recognise my handycam. It's a Mini DV PAL camera and is connected by a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire (it's the only wire I could find to fit the port). I've went through all the DV settings n the Easy Setup menu and I continue to get a message saying:
    Unable to Locate the Following External Devices:
    Apple FireWire PAL (720x576)
    Your system configuration may have changed... etc.
    So I can't figure out how to change that external device thing other than the Easy Setup menu. If anyone can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it.

    Heya,
    It's a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x1GB
    320GB Serial ATA @ 7200
    SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
    (lol, pasted directly from the website)
    It runs on Mac OS X(10.5.6)
    The camera's a Sony DVR-HC51e Handycam Mini DV PAL and is connected with a 4 pin to 9 pin FireWire. I switched the camera to the video player.
    It's Quicktime version 7.6 and Final Cut Express 4.
    Final Cut is set to DV-PAL in the Easy Setup menu, though I did go through the others.
    thanks.

  • I have a Sony Camcorder DCR-TRV33 and have hooked the firewire cable to my iMac.  However, it doesn'

    I have a Sony DCR-TRV33 camcorder and it hooked to my iMac with the firewire cable but the iMac doesn't seem to recognize the camera.  The camera is set to VCR.  This particular model is not included in the supported camera list for ilife but seems to be compatible from everything else I have read.  Anyone have any ideas as to what to do??

    To import from this camera, you need a Firewire cable.
    Sony's name for FireWire is i.Link, so that is where you need to plug in.
    If you have a relatively new Mac, it will have Firewire 800. You will need a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable. You can find them inexpensively at www.monoprice.com.  If you have an older iMac, it may have Firewire 400 (or it may have both). In this case, you need the  6 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable. Some companies sell adapters that will convert a 6 pin to 4 pin cable to 9 pins. Avoid these. They do not work.

  • Please help. I have the Sony RCD-W500C Cd Recorder.

    Hi I have the Sony RCD-W500C Cd Recorder. Under the "specifications tab" located here:
    http://store.sony.com/p/RCD-W500C/en/p/RCDW500C#specifications
    I would like to know if the "Hybrid Pulse D/A converter" that is in this CD Recorder also converts the analog signal to digital ?
    Another words is the Hybrid Pulse D/A converter also a A/D converter ?
    Also, what Sony CD recorder model has the best 24 bit D/A A/D coverter ?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, the "Hybrid Pulse D/A converter" that is in this CD Recorder also converts the analog signal to digital.
    Yes, the Hybrid Pulse D/A converter is also A/D converter. They are converter of signal for A/D or D/A.
    RCDW2000ES CD/CDR recorder has 24 bit D/A A/D converter but its no longer available. It has the lower distortion level which is .01% compared to the other model that has .05%.
    Actually, Sony no longer manufactures CD/CDR recorder/player.

  • I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them

    I have a Sony Alpha a6000 and I took some photos in the raw format and tried to check them out in Photoshop but got a error saying that camera raw was out of date with my new camera.  Even after updating my Photoshop CS 5 extended with camera raw 6.7    I beleive the exact wording was "camera not supported by the current version of Camera Raw"
    Is there another version of Camera raw I can download that will allow this or is my camera just too new for the version of photoshop I have?
    Thanks

    Adobe’s camera support list suggests you need ACR 8.4 or newer:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Your camera is several years newer than the last ACR plug-in CS5 will host.
    If you’re not quite sure you want to spend the money for a new PS, then you can download and use the free DNG Converter 8.4 or newer to make DNGs from the ARW files and those DNGs will have enough new information embedded in them for an older ACR plug-in to work with.  Of course this is more cumbersome than opening the files natively in PS-CC with the newest ACR plug-in.
    The most obvious thing would be to subscribe to the CC Photography Plan and get the current versions of both LR and PS-CC for $10/month.   There is a minimum OS requirement of 10.7 or Win 7 currently and maybe 10.8/Win7 for LR6—not sure about the next PS version because Adobe hasn’t publically said as far as I know.
    One thing you haven’t seen using only PS-CS5/ACR6.x is that CS6/ACR7 or newer, there is a new toning model that seems superior for most images.

  • My Sony Vaio Model PCG-61611L LED Green Light Turns on but nothing else happens

    When I turn on my Sony Vaio Model PCG-61611L, the green LED light goes on, but nothing much happens. The laptop is from 2010 and is never abused, so I do not know what has happened. It just started doing this on occasions and now I can't turn it on at all. Any suggestions?

    RESOLUTION, PROBLEM SOLVED!! Hopefully everyone that has been working on this problem for a number of years, found the answer.Thought the problem was the BIOS. Went to Sony's Website, entered the Model Number, and of course you have to have a ****** Jack Decoder Ring on to figure out your Model Number.  But once youmanuever through that hurdle, download the BIOS update for your specific Model Number Unit.  Follow the directions, it will install once you have downloaded. Basically Shut the System down after that,Wait the 60 seconds, turn on. My unit performed two Memory Tests, both check ok. Reboots to desktopLogin. Then for the Grand Finally, shut the system down once more.  And finally, with out doing any two or three finger salutes.. my PC boots up again like normal.

  • I have iMovie 09 and have successfully used an older Sony Handycam to directly capture and record. Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

    Now I have a Sony HDR-PJ230 and it is not recognized in iMovie09. Do I need to upgrade to iMovie 11 or ???

    Hi jcm2656,
    iMovie ’09 does not support the Sony HDr-PJ230 camcorder. See this article for a list of cameras supported for that version of iMovie -
    iMovie '09: Camcorder Support
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3290#1
    iMovie ’11 however, does support it. See this article -
    Apple - iLife '11 Help - iMovie ’11 Supported Cameras
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
    Note that iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-60p from this Camcorder.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.
