miniDV Firewire transfer?

RM Rayle All Messages By This Member #13949 I have a time-critical unusual ask... I need to transfer a short video segment from a 2010 miniDV tape to a computer drive. It may be the only one of several hundred tapes that I did not fully transfer?to archival storage. The video content is needed to counter a patent troll contesting some key IP of a local company. I have a working miniDV camcorder that can play the tape and the Firewire cabling to a Firewire card on my desktop PC, but my Win10 PC and Premiere video software versions no longer support Firewire transfers. I'm looking to borrow an older PC or Mac for 1/2 an hour that can still do Firewire transfers from a miniDV camcorder so I can download the video segment. ...Or borrow a Firewire to USB converter device to do the same. --Roger-- Roger Rayle rmrayle@...

RM Rayle All Messages By This Member #13951 Thanks to all the folks who responded?with offers to help and suggestions. We finally got the short video clip captured via Firewire from the original 2010 miniDV tape using an old Win7 windows PC running an old Adobe video capture product. I was taken aback at how many little (& big) glitches?and system incompatibilities?we had to work through to get the tape downloaded. I guess it shows how much technology has changed in 15 years.? --Roger-- Roger Rayle toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Fri, May 23, 2025 at 11:28?AM Roger Rayle <rmrayle@...> wrote: I have a time-critical unusual ask...
