There are a few camcorders that allow DV transfer over USB. You must use the software that comes with the camcorder though. Show us one that will transfer to a computer over usb and end up with a DVavi type I or II file.
It was a Windows OS driver only. Some Panasonic DV camcorder models are said to have implemented device drivers for UVC/USD (DV over USB2) but I'm still looking for model numbers.See P-3.BTW, the external iSight webcam interfaced Firewire only but the internal iSight models internally transfer video over UVC/USB. The protocol has been part of Mac OSX since 10.4.11 but only implemented for webcams, not external DV camcorders. Many consumers are buying flash media camcorders (or Hard Drive-based). The 'clips' are now just files that may be transferred via USB cable (or, in the case of the flash media, yanked from the camcorder and plugged into the computer with a flash media reader).Apple's opinion is that anyone using 'pro' media (HDDV tape, for example) is using a MacPro or MacBook Pro and has FW.Personally, I agree that FW is still necessary but when my Canon ZR mini-DV camcorder bit the dust I replaced it with a Samsung MX20 that uses SDHC cards. No need for FW for that.
Windows device driver information for Apple Built-in iSight. FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394. Unibrain offers free FireWire networking drivers for. An unsecured FireWire interface can. Didn't find a driver for iSight to update for Windows Vista Please Help. DB:4.40:Isight Driver x3. Develop hardware and software that is compatible with macOS and Apple hardware.
So Apple does have a point (although I bought the white MacBook with FW instead of the aluminum model). Apple, being a business, has to make money.Money is made by three things: innovation, rebranding, and restructuring.Innovation is out currently, so by rebranding what's lower end andwhat's higher end, and restructuring the products to reflect that,you then cause the consumer to spend money.Firewire 400 cost less than Firewire 800. Apple could includeany combination of FW and USB on its machines it wants.But by doing this, they drive sales becasue they make FW an'exclusive' item rather than 'inclusive'.That's why I troll the Refurbished section of their webstore than thenew stuff. I'd rather have what works for me, not whatworks for them.

No, there's nothing you can do. You'll have to borrow or rent a MacBook with FireWire to complete this project. The Apple knucklehead management mutants seem to have escaped sublevel 27 and entered the executive suite once again, to the regret of users everywhere. Hello 1996.Somehow, I missed the news that FW was dropped on the new MacBooks: that's a really bad move. I can't tell if Steve is too ill to think clearly or the lunatics are running the asylum, or both. With the economy in long-term shambles and decent high-feature Windows laptops selling for 60% less than a low-end MacBook, this was the worst possible year for Apple to pull one of its periodic 'lets screw our dedicated long-term users by forcing them to buy a 'pro' model just to keep at feature parity with their three year old consumer Mac' stunts.
(Remember when our only choice was the crippled orange 'toilet seat' iBook or $3K TiBook?) It wouldn't be so bad if the price discrepancies to Windows laptops were not so utterly insane: you can walk into any Best Buy and find a loaded Vaio or Toshiba for one-third the price of a MacBook Pro!! That's the worst value ratio Apple has had since 1988: what the hell are they thinking to drop FW?
The 'entry-level' MacBook used to be almost defensible at 200% markup, but not stripped of FireWire. I don't want to hear about cost-cutting: the freaking FW400 port cannot possibly cost them more than $5 wholesale/$20 retail to implement (if I can get one on a disposable crap Dell for $399, there should be three on a $1299 MacBook).Typical arrogant asinine Cupertino logic: dropping FW did not 'drive up sales of the more obscenely profitable MacBook Pro', but it certainly did create a thriving cutthroat market for second-hand FW-equipped MacBooks. It is a myth that the MacBook only sells to college students and housewives- its the standard Mac laptop, even for damn near every IT pro I'm aware of who deals with Macs at all. The only ones who buy the inflated 'Pro' MacBooks are the high-end pro content creators who truly need one (and the overpaid hipster twits who emulate them). Neither of those groups is wiping their ass with $100 bills at the moment: Apple should rethink and restore FW to the next round of 'budget' models. They won't, though: in 20 years of using Macs I don't remember them ever once backing down from a mistake. (Sorry for the rant, kids, I had no idea about this missing FW issue and it really ticks me off: I hate it when Apple makes patently stupid decisions like this that even Bill Gates's goldfish could have told them was bad policy.the freaking FW400 port cannot possibly cost them more than $5 wholesale/$20 retail to implement.
Probably much less than that. I'd estimate less than $1. Its only a connector and few traces on the PCB.
Firewire is supported in the chipset hardware.Like you said, FW400 would be fine. Let the pro have the FW800.It seems humorous that the only way you can get the Proxima DV to USB2 converter to work on the MacBook is to run Windows XP under Parallels.
Apple could have offered a software workaround but chose to disrespect their loyal customers once again. And what about the Windows crossover customer that has a DV camcorder? The MacMini was successful because it supported PC peripherals. So, Mac just came out with a new macbook w/ FW last week. I've been bitching about this issue since I bought my aluminum macbook (no FW) in January. I didn't realize that this would be a problem w/ my external devices, inparticular my video camera. Now I have crappy video of my 8 month old daughter b/c of the memory stick and conversion problems on.
I think it's b/c imovie '09 is HD and my camera's not HD. NO ONE at the apple store can help me, sony can't help me. Meanwhile, I'm losing precious days of video taping my daughter. I'd get rid of my macbook if I knew I could sell it to almost the price I paid for it. Or I'm willing to get a new video camera. BUT no one can recommend a good HD camcorder that will work with my macbook. HELP!!!!!please email me directly b/c I don't have time to check for responses.
