    I recently bought one of those Sony miniDV camcorders to begin making a movie, problem is I have an IMac computer and apparently Sony does not want to be compatible with my software so it does not offer the output I'm looking for. I heard about this Handycam docking station that's supposedly has all the ports I need to hook up to my computer, although I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them separately from the cameras. Does anyone know about this docking thing that's supposed to hook up to your camcorder so you can transfer the film to the IMovie program? Or does anyone have a link to where I can buy one. Believe me I would not be asking for a link on BBW if I knew a place like Circuit City or Walmart would have them. [​IMG]

    I think you need a firewire. My brother bought a camcorder and thats what he needed.
