I'll preface by saying that this was a project that took me DECADES to get started, precisely because there are so many options and variables to consider. I've transferred dozens of my own MiniDV cassettes so let me share the methods I used and what I think makes sense for you. My personal computer, MacBook Pro, only has Thunderbolt 3 ports and this would require numerous expensive adapters in order for this method to work.

I am aware that products like the Eas圜AP aim to solve this by allowing you to access the stream via USB using special software. However, I am looking to digitise my collection of home videos, and, as such, am seeking a reliable and cheap method for doing so.
