How to capture SD video from JVC GR-HD1 to a Mac

Hi Rob,

I connect the camera via firewire cable.

In imovie 8, I go to "import from camera", my camera shows up, I click on import, it says it's importing, but no video shows up on the import screen, no recording time shows up in the record counter and if I stop it, no file is created.

In Final Cut Express HD, I start a new project then use one of the easy setup options. I use DV-NTSC Anamorphic for my other video camera. I tried setting it up with all the NTSC formats, there are nine of them. Then I go to capture. It finds my camera and says "VTR OK". I click "capture now", the camera starts playing but a message comes up, This operation could not be completed as there is no video.

Only a blue screen showing in the capture window, but it finds the camera and controls it.
