[QUOTE="Dorian_, post: 1927323, member: 417083"] The archive doesn't have version 1.4.6, and 1.4.5 crashes on Yosemite (and possibly on any supported macOS version prior, since the changelog mentions it's the camcorder watchdog doing it). Unfortunately Yosemite is the oldest version that the old MacBook Air that I still have can run (can't use Firewire from a VM) and that's also the oldest Mac in my possession that's fast enough for real-time DV decoding while streaming from tape. Yes, but only after I enter an activation code, which I can no longer obtain. And if the application doesn't crash. The trial version will only restore the first 1000MB from the tape, which is already hit or miss before a crash. It will not restore any files that are larger than 1000MiB, either. Anyway, I've tried and evaluated all the options. The only thing that will really help me at this point is the 1.4.6 version from November 18th 2014 [URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20150106173024/https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10521/dv-backup']that MacUpdate says exists[/URL], and someone's activation code to make it work. Unless someone can find this Tim Hewett who made it to issue a new one, if he even still can. I don't think there's really a way around that. Short of throwing the binary into IDA Pro and spending weeks trying to patch out the watchdog bug and activation, that is. [/QUOTE]
