Best most uncompressed way to get video into my macbook from a Mini-DV camcorder via firewire

I want to get the video in to my macbook so i can work with the video in Final Cut Pro on my hackintosh


Thanks!

I'd recommend importing with ProRes, it's visually lossless and will work with Final Cut Pro. Do you have FCP on your laptop or are you looking for something else? You can use Apple's Firewire SDK to import footage, follow part of the HV20 import guide here:

Well, if you have FCP, can't ou just fire it up with the cable hooked up and import it straight in to FCP? That's kinda what I do... Well, it's exactly what I do, but anyways...

at the time of install i only had FCP on the hackitosh that does not have firewire but i ended installing FCP on my macbook then transferring files between
