Folks
I have an old (2000) JVC GR-DVX4E video camera. This records onto mini tapes.
It came with a docking station (when I bought it in 2000) which has now since disappeared. The docking station allowed conversion to various DV out formats/connects including S-Video, RGA etc.
The camera has a DV out port which is (I believe) Firewire.
So I am now trying to connect the camera to my Macbook 13"which has no Firewire Port. I am using a Firewire (4 pin) to USB cable.
I get nothing, zippo, zero. The Macbook does not know it has a device connected (nor does a windows PC).
So. I either need to find a docking station (none on ebay) or can somebody on here point me at what I need to be able to retrieve my old family movies currently on mini tape to get them onto disc.
