Is there any unit out there that you can put a mini dv tape in with hd footage that will transfer it to a hd ready to edit, probly a strang question but ive been 4 days trying to get hd footage of a mini dv tape with no success at all and ive had enough

£1000+ for such units.

How are you importing it and with what program?

I have magix, vegas, video studio, .............i use the iLink / firewire cable......... to the 400 port (like a usb connection with a round on one end) it transfers grand in dv format but when set to hd1080i it wont even detect the camcorder in any program. I once got it to detect it and when i hit record the camcorder played and the record was on the computer but it never recorded it. Im so bloody sick of it i put the camcorder, tripod etc up for sale.......................... I have a tm900 and is great. I just want an easy life
