Aloha to you, too. Have you tried bringing your clips in with a compact flash card reader? That is what I do. e.g. I connect a card reader with my card from the MRC1 and drag and drop them onto a portable hard drive using my Macbook pro. Once the card loads as a drive on your desktop you can get to your clips that have the date in the file name. I create a folder for the clips from the MRC1 and a folder for the Clip wrap files once they have been “wraped”. I don’t know the comparison of streamclip to clipwrap. I believe streamclip is free. I am having great results with clipwrap. It gives you many options, the one I use the most in clip wrap is the option to save the file as an Apple Prores HQ file. This makes it easier to edit with my Macbook pro. I just import the clips into FCP and I’m off and editing.
I did try to log and capture with firewire and was having difficulties due to not having my system setting set to match the clip setting from my camera. Let me know if this helps.

I’m glad that helped! It was a life saver for me, too. The HVR-MRC1 is much easier than my firestore to ingest media.

I just purchased the HVR-Z5U and shot at 30p. I used clipwrap https://www.clipwrap.com/. I’m new to the 30p framerate and I’m not sure if after using clipwrap that it stays 30p but I was able to use the video files and they looked good. Hope this helps.
