Re: [Avid-L2] OT:archive family movies

I had a big ding-dong with Avid about the time of MC 5 and 5.5 as it would not capture from Firewire on several of the Mac systems I use. This seemed to have been fixed in 6 and I'm sure I've used my DSR 45P successfully with 6.5. The most rock-solid version I've used recently was 4.x. If all fails, install the latest 4.x release you can find on the Avid site as a trial and get all the tapes in.

I did find that there were Mac OS Firewire issues with a couple of very old (like 1998) cameras that I have lying around. If it helps, Premiere Pro seems to work well.

My question is, is anyone successfully digitizing DV tapes with current version of Avid on a MacBookPro. I have an old DVX100 that Avid does not recognize. I would buy a used sony deck like a DSR1500 or DSR 11 if I knew Avid on the laptop would control it. But I thought Id check with you guys to see if anyone has had any luck. I have not had DV tapes come into the suite for about 3 years now and not set up here to digitize either. Id rather do it at home at night but MBP may not cut it.
