iMac (retina 5K, 27" 2020) not supporting DV camera Panasonic PV-GS250

Does anyone have a solution to connect this Panasonic DV camera to the iMac 27" 2020 ?

Hoping to capture video with Final Cut Pro preferably.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

How to Capture MiniDV to FCPX on MacBook Pro M1 Max (with Sony Handycam HDR-HC3) - Camera not recognized I never had an issue importing MiniDV footage onto my old iMac via a iLink DV to firewire cable. But now that I've upgraded to the MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max, I have yet to find a cable hookup that allows Final Cut Pro X to recognize the camera. I've tried: 1) DV to USB-A (cable for DCR-TRV75E) 2) HDMI to USB-C 3) DV to Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3/USB-C Does anyone know how I can get FCPX to recognize the camera or, if not, any converter box that would work with the Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 to get decent quality transfers from the MiniDV tapes. (I have also tried iMovie -- same issue.) Thank you. Rob MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) Apple M1 Max Memory: 64GB macOS Monterey 12.4 Final Cut Pro X 10.6.3

iMovie doesn't recognize video camera I've connected the camera using a (new) USB cable directly to a Mac Mini port. When I select "PC" on the camera, iMovie doesn't recognize it as a camera, even though it's listed as compatible with iMovie. What am I missing? Thanks! Dick
