Before I go any further please know I did review some past threads with this same issue. The one that I found that mentioned this same problem really did not fix the issue so let me now ask again.

I have a DV camera (tape) & I am trying to transfer my video to my iMac. It does not seem to read it at all. I am using a Firewire and everything seems to be connected properly.

Anyone?

I have iMovie & Final Cut. I thought those should work.

Do you have the camera set to the right setting? Like on my DV Camera I have to set it to "play" in order to import from the tape. What camera do you have?
