Q. I have a Canon ZR85 and a Macbook pro running OSX 10.8.2 I just bought a firewire cable to import my footage from my mini DV tape onto my computer using iMovie (9.0) and whenever I tried to connect the camera, the computer does not recognize it at all, nothing comes up. The only camera that comes up is the webcam. I've tried both settings on the camera in MENU, VCR SETTINGS and then AV-DV OUT to both on and off and still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?
A. You did not specify which firewire cable - so we assume it is a 4-pin to 9-pin firewire cable (and not USB).
We assume the camcorder is in "Play" mode.
We assume the firewire cable has not been plugged into and pulled out of the camcorder when the camcorder was on (and possibly blown the camcorder's DV port).
We assume it is a working firewire cable.
Since you have made all those camcorder menu changes, there may be value resetting the camcorder to factory settings.

Normally, with firewire computer connectivity, there is no need to change any settings on the camcorder...

Camcorder Sony Vx2100 Info?
Q. I am getting a Sony Vx2100 (camcorder) and I want to know some things before I even get it.
I heard that Sony will only let You edit the videos You record on the Vx on their editing system,is that true?
Is it good recording quality?

A. Not true.
The Sony DCR-VX2100 is a prosumer miniDV tape based camcorder that shoots in standard definition DV (4:3 and 16:9 widescreen). To transfer the video to your computer, you need a firewire port on your computer and a firewire cable to connect the DV port on the camcorder to the computer firewire port. USB will not work.
With the camcorder in "Play" or "VCR" mode and with the AC power plugged in, a Windows computer running MovieMake can "Capture" the video - or you can use WinDV to import... On a Macintosh, Us iMovie to import. I do this regularly, today, with a Sony HDR-HC1 and HDR-FX1. I have done this same process with a Canon Elura60 and a Panasonic PV-GS320...
The software that comes in the box with any camcorder is basically not needed - and typically useless. There is generally no reason to install it.
