Hi Ive been trying to capture a bunch of old mini dv tapes i have, all the tutorials say that i need to hit dv in the capture settings i was just wondering would there be any reason why im not getting it as an option, im guessing i probably need to get some sort of dv codec, if so, does anyone know where i could get one.

 

thanks

Because you are on a mac and probably using Catalina. DV is no longer supported.

Adobe Removed Legacy Tape Capture & Device Control from 23.3 beta windows..........

 

I am glad I still have CS6.

you could buy yourself a ouji board and ask Steve Jobs directly and it ain't gonna happen based on apple's standard behavior.

You'll need to find a 3rd party hardware solution that is compatible with the mac.

Called support.  This is such BS. they said it was apples fault but it works on iMovie still. I have hundreds of tapes I need to archive and now I am stuck.  They (India Support) won't answer the question if it will be in an update.  Just talk in circles.

Why is this the only program it impacts? Works on VLC, iMovie, and Final cut
