    I am trying to hook a sony HDR-FX1 HDV Handycam to a mac mini using either i movie hd or Final cut Express I can't seem to consistently get it to work. I don't use the mac that much so I don't know if there is something I am missing thanks for any help.

    I am trying to use firewire. but I just found out that the reason i would not work is that a chip inside the camera died
