Importing video from DCR-TRV110E to a Macbook

[HowardB54]

I am trying to import video ( old V8 tapes ) from my DCR-TRV110E camcorder to my MacBook Pro on IMovie 10.0.5.  The camcorder is connected via Firewire.

The films will play both picture and sound ,  but won't import  -  has anyone solved this problem ?

Thanks

Unfortunately this doesn't help -  the DCR-TRV110E is not supported by IMovie 10.0.5 -  you can view the film via the Import function but can not capture the data - very dissappointing.  The camcorder is connected to the MacBook via a firewire cable

Correct (sorry my mistake), so, you can download and install previous version of iMovie:

If you don't have OS El Capitan you can try with PlayMemories Home for Mac:
