• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I bought a canon hg10 hdd camera. It downloads movies into imovie and final cut ok, but when i try and use it instead of the camera in my laptop, the macbook doesn't see the camera.
It sees my old canon mini dv no problem.

The difference between them is the old camera is firewire and the new camera is usb 2. I assume there is an issue with the macbook and usb 2, yet it imports video ok.

Any solutions

ta everyone

I don't quite understand what you mean by "use it" - once you've used log and transfer in final cut to get it into the capture scratch of final cut, you then can edit the footage...

What exactly are you having trouble with?
