Does it work for input as well as output? Can I hook my NIKON D5100 or Sony HDR-UX5 camcorder and record directly to my hard drive through iMovie?

This is a lightning connector to HDMI... I don't know that DSLRs or camcorders normally come with lightning connectors, as well as the fact that this is straight to HDMI, while you could maybe do some screen recording and get it to go "directly to your harddrive", this is not the right adapter for you. Most likely you're looking for something like a data cable from mini USB to regular USB, for example this: dCables Nikon D5100 USB Cable - USB Computer Cord for D5100

That I don't know. I have it hooked up to my MacBook Air so that I can view the computer on my TV. That is only a "one way" set up. I would presume that the cable is capable of either direction, but I would not want to swear on it. Perhaps, if you know someone who has one you could borrow it, and if it works then you can feel safe in purchasing it. Good luck.

The Sony HDR-HC3 4MP does work with the Mac, in fact, that's the computer that I use. It works with Imovie and Final Cut Pro without any hassle via Firewire. If you have one of the new Macs, they don't have any Firewire, but they sell USB to Firewire 800 adapters and you can also buy a Firewire 400 (the conector of the camera) to Firewire 800 and conect it to the Usb to Firewire 800 adapter.

If you Canon is capable of sending digital HD output through HD-SDI connection; and your monitor/recorder accept hdmi input then this is for you. As far as yes or no, there's not enough information provided to be absolute.

It will take an HDMI input or a component input if you want HD. It also has composite input... Please note this model does not have hdmi output so you cannot loop thru hdmi on the camera.

That's a tricky question as you are really talking about "Will my video card allow input cables from my camcorder?" The other option is whatever your camcorder records with (tape, disc, what have you) is there a way to transfer that data to the PC/MAC. Will it burn in HD? Yes absolutely. To a DVD? Not truly. You would need to have a blank BLURAY disc to get the real HD quality I think you might be looking for. The real trick is getting it off your camcorder. :) Hope this helps and if wanting some idea's try this string in Google "move video from camcorder to computer" without the quotes of course. :) Best of luck!

HDRCX150 does not have a mic input. Therefore, this kit will not work with that camcorder.

Yes, the best results will be if you have a compatible Sony camcorder as you will be able to do many copy features via automation. Inputs available - DV (firewire), S-Video, composite video and stereo audio. NO HDMI input. If the camcorder is non-Sony you can still select your inputs from the menu but the camcorder will not automatically drive the DVD Recorder VRDMC5. See ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9BHCUnmTQ

You need an interface, and it depends what are you using it for, multitrack recording or just one input. Personus makes nice affordable interfaces, but there are others.

Macintosh you need a firewire cable and you may have to use iMovie. Premiere Pro is iffy in capture. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Works with any camcorder/ DSLR that has a microphone input jack (mini plug or xlr )

Never tried to do that. Bought it to transfer video from an older camcorder to computer. It did work for that.

The only inputs that this recorder allows are composite video and dv. I run a composite connection from my Comcast DVR. Works fine.

I have the same problem. I have a 4 pin to 6 pin firewire cable and it doesn't work with imovie. What the heck?

It will work right out of the cameras XLR inputs... But I would get an XLR cable to extend the cord.

Short answer: yes, but no. Yes, there is an HDMI input port, but you can't record from it. The industry is trying to prevent recording of protected content (like from DVD and Blu-Ray discs), and they don't know how to distinguish home-grown movies from blockbusters, so they block all HDMI recording. You are better off using the output features from your camera with a PC. I hope this was helpful to you!

It uses H.264, a standard format supported by QuickTime (and promoted by Apple), so it plugs in and works. And since QT supports it, so will iMovie. (Source: http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=13065&pq-locale=en_US)

No. This does not work with any iDevice...... it is specifically for camcorders with this type of connecter.
