Today came that day in every modern parent's life - my daughter said she wants to become a YouTuber when she grows up
Well she's going to learn the same way we all did - with a MiniDV camcorder and iMovie. Dug out my Sony HandyCam but after putting a tape in all I got was an angry beep and “C:31:23”
Did a web search, found a thread thats been going on for literally 20 years of people thanking “Debbie” for the advice“just smack the side of the camera”
It worked!

Why doesn't software look like this anymore?
