I was under the impression. The older version was free, but it must just be a trial.
Programa en versión 3.6 muy estable h eficaz para importar viejas cintas Mini DV que padecen lapsos magnéticos que otros programas hacen que se pare la importación.
I've digitized hundreds of tapes with this software and it works flawlessly every time :)
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.
Nice program but did not work well for me capturing from my Sony handy cam trv320. Would glitch out about halfway through. Worth a try if you have a lot of videos as I could see it being easier than iMovie to manage videos. Wish it worked better for me.
It’s difficult to rate since I wasn’t really able to do anything using the trial version once I uploaded a video. I didn’t purchase it after the trial because the trial did not allow me to really play around with it.
It didn’t work. Support only modestly helpful or concerned. Glad I got it on sale
Greatins, I ordered LifeFlix 4 bu didn't work on my older Mac. Any chnce theres a older copy that might work on m computer other wise I,m stuck with a copy that won't work with my setup.

I had to upgrade to really see if it worked properly.
I needed a way to capture family video from 20 year old DV tapes. There had been some degradation, causing the capture process using iMovie or QuickTime impractical due to frequent stoppage. As a last resort I installed LifeFlix, and by using the Resume and Combine features was able to capture as much footage as possible. I can recommend it especially if dealing with degraded tape.
