Transfer video to computer without Corel disk

I have an older HR10 camcorder, and I want to digitize my video. However, it seems the Corel application disk is required, and I no longer have it. Is there another way to transfer the video files to my Mac?

Hi there,

The camcorder can transmit the video over HDMI for live capture with video editing software and a USB HDMI capture card. This would bypass the need for any specific software but it is a live capture rather than a data transfer so it takes as long as the footage lasts to record it to your computer.

OK, so I now have an HDMI video capture connector, but my Mac computer does not seem to recognize the camera. It isn't showing up on my iMovie input, and also not in Finder. What do I need to do to get it to recognize the camera?

Hi bbzoomer,

Try connecting your camera by USB and make sure that it is set for videos, not stills. Then press the play button.

Go to iMovie, select CAMERA then CAPTURE. Does iMovie see your camera at that point? If so try to save the clips on the camera to a convenient location on your Mac.
