LifeFlix is a good application for importing Mini DV tapes from Sony DCR Camcorders, etc. My experience is as follows: I have Mini DV tapes from 2000 to 2007. I've started importing tapes into my M1 Mac mini to digitize and sort my memories. I've used QuickTime, but the import abruptly stops, very often, between 15 to 120 seconds, and I discarded this app. Then I successfully used iMovie. Importing into iMovie doesn't stop but segments the video into clips when it detects a timecode change. I need and prefer to have a single file so that I can edit comfortably in Davinci Resolve, for example. QuickTime doesn't segment into clips, but it stops abruptly and often. I found several tutorials on YouTube that advised using LifeFlix to import Mini DV tapes to Mac or Windows. I bought the app, and when I used it, I was surprised to see that in the latest version 4.2.5, the same thing happened, although somewhat less frequently, than in QuickTime: the red "Import" signal was turned off, and the program stopped importing, although we continued to see the video in the window. I contacted the Technical Service who answered me in less than 24 hours. He asked me for technical information and after performing his 3 tips, the problem continued. I told them, and they quickly replied that they offered me an older version (v3.6) that would probably work. So, I did, I downloaded the new LifeFlix DV Importer v3.6 app in a link that Technical S. sent me, installed the app, and tried the import again. It was a success, and it worked the first time, smoothly, continuously and without shocks or sudden stops. I have suggested that they inform the user of this issue and look to fix the problem in a new version. My rating is maximum for the very good customer service, which is not very often found.
