- The following items are necessary to transfer video to an Apple® Macintosh® computer from an 8mm or Hi8™ camcorder: The computer must have compatible video capture software installed, such as iMovie®. The computer must have a FireWire® serial bus (IEEE 1394) connection.
Have a macbook running OS X 10.5 and imovie 9
Have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV280 that uses hi-8 mini ntsc videos
So far they are not friends.
I thank you to the greatest heights of Macintosh Online Support Forum Glory if you can help me overcome.
I will try to give as much relevant info as I can:

The Handycam has three export ports.
1.) 'A/V' which gets it to the VCR
2.) 'i-link' which is a 4-port firewire
3.) 'DV' which is for usb streaming
In the camera's internal settings the only things I can find that are relevant and that I can control seem to be:
1.) USB streaming on/off
2.) Video-Edit: Edit Set to EITHER 'i-Link' or 'IR' (I think this translates to 'AV'; I have no idea what IR would stand for: Incredible Ripoff?)

iMovie9, iPhoto, and Finder do not recognize the camcorder in any way -- either thinking it is a USB flashdrive, which seems to be a common phenomenon, or anything else -- EXCEPT:
When I have iMovie open, and the little green light is on next to the camera above my screen, that light blinks when I:
1.) plug into the firewire port and my camera is set to: a.) USB Streaming OFF; b.) Video-Edit: Edit Set = 'i-Link'
OR
2.) plug into the USB port and my camera is set to : a.) USB Streaming ON; b.) Video-Edit: Edit Set = 'i-Link'
This indicates to me that the dear Macbook at least recognizes digital life through the port and at the end of that cable.

Please help me figure out how to make these two talk to each other. I would like to download these 'old' movies (7 years?) so that I can trash these stupid little tapes and let my kids play with the handycam.
