Hmm that's surprising. Used #dvgrab to capture some footage from DV Tapes. There are several formats to choose from. One of them is QuickTime mov. You would've thought #Apple could handle that. But apparently the codec DV/DVCPRO is unsupported by both QuickTime and #FinalCutPro. #Compressor can't handle it either.
The raw format is being handled just fine.
This is not the first time I find Apple stuff to have zero support for some codecs. Yet #HandBrake and #ShutterEncoder do.

Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...
I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.
But I have to say... This thing is a monster.
Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?

Nice! I was able to use #dvgrab with my #FireWire card and #DV #camera without any configuration on #Fedora #Linux. I won't be sticking to it because of the short term support, but happy to know that part of my old PC will work just fine under Linux!
Thinking about going with #AlmaLinux instead because of the longer support cycle. That or #ZorinOS.
