I am unable to get video with this item from my mac book pro. I tried with S-VHS and the mini plug. Neither work.

I initially had this problem, too. There is a tiny switch on the body that changes the output. Change the position of the switch ... or maybe you just have a faulty product.

Mine worked fine with my surface book pro3. I have not tried it on my MacBook Pro yet. I am assuming that u have the proper input on ur tv selected. I have only used RCA cables so far. And be sure u have the USB plugged in. That is ur power supply

The video works fine with the Macs, but there is a known issue regarding the audio. The audio doesn't work with USB 3.0 ports. http://www.diamondmm.com/images/wpctvpromac/releasenotes.txt

Donna, did you ever find a solution to this? I want to transfer VHS tapes from my VCR/DVD combo machine as well!

Make sure your video is plugged in....I use a 12 v. adaptor, mine works fine

Turn the video settings on your Mac to 1080i and ensure the cable is pressed all the way in on the HDMI port. See my review of the product for additional information.

I tried hooking up my Panasonic DVD/VCR but it does not display correctly. I have no idea what cables to use, I just used the ones I had on my old Sony, but cannot get a clear picture.

I have a macbook pro computer with minidisplayport on computer and use cable to attach to any hdmi tv with no problems. Make sure in preferences you select to turn audio on because it also comes out of the cable. :)

As long the laptop has a vga socket, which most do (Apple requires an Apple specific adapter for everything but that's the price for being i-pretensious . ) You can connect it to a DVD player or VCR via the s-video or video rca jack. It does NOT have hdmi capability.

it only lets whats on your computer play onto a tv, it won't let you hook anything up into the macbook. I'm actually not sure but I don't think MacBooks support video in.

I also need help here. I just bought a DCR-DVD108 and I use apple. I can't figure out how to import the video.

I'm not familiar with the mac. The AV cord allows the camcorder to be connected to dvd recorders/players and TVs. I connect the camcorder to the dvd recorder-player to transfer the video recordings to DVDs which are compatible with my computer and other players. Hope this helps.

IThat'd the model I used it with. While it works, the external video only worked a prin of the time. It was so finicky that I abandoned this and more just use a usb hub with network adapter and hdmi to monitor. Cheaper solution that works all the time.

I just pulled the micro SD card from the helicopter and plugged it into an SD card adapter and watched the video on my Macbook Pro. The brighter the lighting the better the video quality. Its not great quality video but it works and is kind of fun to play with.

how did work out? I am travelling and I have been trying to download video but with no luck on my laptop(mac G4). I tried the 4 pin to the usb, 4 pin to the 6 Firewire, and a couple other connectors.

I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro and it required going into the preferences and editing the video and sound outputs. But before doingvthe above, make sure you push the HDMI cable all the way into the port by pushing the wire connecting to the HDMI doggle in. Please refer to my review. I hope this helps.

I'm not sure but think the answer is no. I have plugged it into my Mac book pro. Very low quality video

When I put the video on my computer I did not use the USB cord, I used an SD card and it worked fine. I have a MacBook pro and just put the micro sd card into the larger SD card that fits into the slot in the computer.
