how can i get my new imac G5 to talk to a sony dvd camera ? The camera only has usb and drivers and software for PC.
Sony dvd 101e handicam.
The finilised discs won't go in the computer as the are mini discs.

Hi Paul and welcome to macosx.com
The only possibility I see is to hook the camcorder to the USB port and use a ripping software (like MacTheRipper for instance) to extract the movie onto a VIDEO_TS folder. But I'm not sure it works
Toast 7 also can extract MPEGs from DVD camcorders using Toast's Media Browser
In the good all times when Sony's leadership was not afded out by the iPod success, i.e when Mac still use 9.x system, ImageMixer (available on Mac)

was able to extract the movie from the camcorder.
But now, Sony does not do anything from macusers.
So, to be honest, I would return the camcorder for a miniDV or DVD camera
