Question 1

Where do I download the driver for the Mac? The CD shipped to me has no files on it and the links to download it from your site are broken.

Accepted Answer

Updated response:

The current product version ships with a download key card due to certain important changes with each major macOS update and the lack of CD optical drive in new Macs. This also allows us to have some agility in responding to Apple's changes so that we do not have to worry about CD versions becoming outdated between one month and the next.

Accepted Answer

Are you certain that the tape has recorded? You may be seeing what is taped. I hooked up old camera to box and then to a Mac. I did have a bad speed on one tape and could not copy. Went to Goodwill and bought a used machine to acquire the slow speed and it worked ok. Then returned the machine.

Question 3

To capture mini VD tapes, do i need a camera that can play the mini vd tape or can i put the cassette in this device?

Accepted Answer

You can also purchase a mini tape ADAPTER that holds the smaller size VHS type tape, and then it will play on a regular VHS player. It's called a VHS-C adapter. Here's one, (not that I'm recommending it, just an example!) https://www.amazon.com/Konig-VHS-C-Cassette-Adapter-KN-VHS-C-ADAPT/dp/B00QV2T6II
