JVC Hardrive Camera not working, need some serious help
Ok so here is the run down. I am going to be in college next year and will be majoring in film. Our major is mac based which is good because I was planning/ did buy a macbook pro. I also have recently purchased final cut studio 2 as I would like to work in my spare time on my own stuff. My current camera is a JVC hardrive camera. I forget the exact model, it’s from about ’06 and all the files when viewed on the computer are in .MOD or .MOI. Now with imovies even trying to import takes an eternity, if this kind of camera works with final cut pro please tell me now. I, however, have pretty much given up hope that my current camera will work. I am now considering on buying a new camera, possibly a DV camera but I’m not sure what to buy. I want to know what good cameras, possibly $500 max, would work well with my Macbook Pro and Final Cut Pro 6 in Final Cut Studio 2

I’m not familiar with that camaera, but can you plug it into the computer and get it to appear in Finder as a hard drive?
And if that does happen, have you then tried going to Final Cut’s “Log and Transfer” window? (Not ‘Log and Capture’, but ‘Transfer.’)
Do that and wait 30-40 seconds and see if anything appears.
