I'll ask my husband (a mac geek) when he gets home from work tomorrow. Have you tried just plugging it in to your computer and seeing if iMovie sucks it up? (I am rather technically inept but have learned to use iMovie although my video is digital.)

Is it on a MiniDV tape? What kind of camcorder is it??

Here were a tech geek's thoughts:

"You would have to pass the non-dig thru a digital recorder or install a non digital capture card into the computer. Otherwise no."

No idea. Here are the specs from online...

Here are a non-tech geek's thoughts:
Huh?! ;)

Thank you for asking him though, I'm thinking the otherwise no is going to end up being my answer. :(

What she said. :)
Basically you need some special equipment to convert the analog VHS format to digital format and then only can you import it into the computer. Sorry. :(
