I want to digitally archive raw footage from my mini-DV camera (canon ZR500) to an external hard drive. I know I can capture all this footage through iMovie. But it creates hundreds of these little .dv files.
I just purchased Quicktime Pro as it looked like it could accomplish this task (just get me one .mov file with the the entire mini-DV tape’s footage on it). Although I can record video just fine, the audio from the camera does not record. While I am recording in Quicktime Pro, I can see the audio gauge at the bottom registering the audio input. But when I playback, it is not there. Do I need to hook up the camera with something other than just the standard Firewire?
BTW, I am on a Mac Mini, OS 10.7.3, iMovie 8.0.6
Thanks
Jon
