The answer is yes and no. What version of MC are you on? I had a big run-in with Avid earlier this year as I discovered that deck control and shuttling and logging in particular is very flaky indeed with a DSR-45 on a Mac with MC.5x or 5.5.x. Rock solid in MC v4.x. Loads of 'Force Quits'. They acknowledged it as a bug (after months of emails) and I've head nothing since. Absolutely fine with FCP7 and Premiere Pro CS5. OK with capturing without timecode.
With Best Wishes,

>I was going to pick up an old DSR-45 and start digitizing all my family mini dv videos so I can get them to dvd. But I'm concerned I the old firewire 400 won't talk to the 800 ports on the current MacBook Pro. is anyone using these decks with MC on their current MacBooks? Do you have deck control?
