Canon Optura 400 Mini DV software download

You can download the user manual for this unit from this link, just click HERE.

You will require a firewire cable to connect to the Mac. Usually a 4 to 6 pin cable, the newer Macs use a 9 pin version.
iMovie will do the job as will Final Cut.

I just installed the disc that came with the camcorder on my windows 8 machine even though it said windows xp only. I am now transferring videos with ease.

go to services and turn on .net runtime optimization service

need the driver for my canon optura 60 camcorder minidv on windows 7, can you help?

you need a firewire cable
it is also called IEEE 1394.
however you need a firewire port on your computer as well.
if you don't have a port like that, then you can buy a firewire pci card.
ask at your local electronics shop.

Movie Downloader can help you with this very well.

you will get what you wan to know from here.
hope it can help you more or less!

make sure you are using firewire only-not usb-if you are using firewire the computer should recoginize the camcorder as soon as you plug it in

Your Mac video program should have or be able to download the appropriate driver for your camcorder when you want to capture the video from it. I have been using Final Cut Pro with no problems with the Canon Optura XI.

you can use software to capture it on your computer and burn a DVD, or there are services that will do it for you for a reasonable price. Windows Movie maker will do it if you can load it on your computer. If you are not familiar with the technology then just use one of the services. Most large cities have them or you can us an online service.
