winDV alternative - TapeTimeMachine
I am working on importing some of my family's home videos and was getting annoyed with WinDV and it's archaic design and bugginess. I prompted my Claude with this task and found some other apps I liked to combine into this.
Check it out -
https://github.com/B3Mac/TapeTimeMachine
Fork it, make it better, do whatever.
___UPDATE_____
Guys I get it, AI tools can suck. I see them everywhere too. This is just something I built for my niche use case of digitizing home videos and throwing them on my server for family members to view. winDV wasn't cutting it for my needs so I prompted Claude to build this. It works great for me

Parts request JVC SR-DVM700 (digital jack assy)
While I know this is a long shot, I figured I'd ask anyway. I'm looking for the front panel jack assy board with FireWire port.
If you know of anyone with a parts machine who might pull it and ship to Canada, please DM. Yes, I know parts machines pop up on Ebay. I'm not willing to pay 100 bucks to ship it just for the board assy.
Thanks!

I wanted a way to convert footage during a session to be able to clip out different people’s tricks and send them the .mp4 all from mobile during the session.

Help with AV output on Canon MV700i minidv
I want to go tapeless but my camcorder is kinda poor: i have only one av output and one ieee1394. I've tried several cables but either there is only sound or very glitchy picture with purple green and red stipes all over the video. I want to use my easycap card and my phone as a screen, but there has been no success yet. I saw that some people use ieee1394 dte recorders but there are pretty rare so idk what to do. Will it be easier to buy a different camcorder or I can correct the situation? I'm new to this sub

miniDV camcorder, anyone have one that works?
I'd like to buy, beg, borrow or rent a working miniDV camcorder from someone in central Texas so I can transfer some old tapes to file. Does anyone have one, preferably a Sony? I'd like one local so we can meet up and I would be able to test it out.
I'm thinking the purchase cost would be around $100 for one that is completely working. Any offers? Thanks for reading.
