Anyone have any luck digitizing DV tapes from a SONY GVHD7001 deck to an
iMac 24-inch, M1, 2021? I used to be able to do this on a PowerMac G4
and Mac Pro2 running Snow Leopard albeit hit or miss trying to get it to
work.
iMac, OS X 10.11
You might review page 59 of the Sony deck's owner's manual to make sure that you have followed the exact procedures that are required. I saw the following note that possibly might be applicable to your case.

P.S. I'm using the SONY i.LINK output with a Tera Grand Firewire 800 9-Pin to
Firewire 400 4-Pin Cable inputted to a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to
Thunderbolt 2 Adapter and Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter. This
works with my SONY DV Video camera but not the SONY GVHD7001 deck, which
has more useful functions than the camera.
P.P.S.:
As I recall when I used this on Snow Leopard I used a Kramer PT-1FW DV Line Protector. Is
there someway I could incorporate this into the chain for the iMac?
P.P.S. Would a CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub solve the problem?
Yep, that was the “finicky” part when it worked on “Snow Leopard”. I think it has something to do with power consumption because the fire wire adapter gets warm to the touch.
Thanks Rich839, I replied to you but it ended up at the bottom. I did follow those directions.
