A friend gave me 6 hours of old Mini-DV tapes that he wants to edit on his Mac (he has no Mini-DV player/recorder). He also gave me a 2 terabyte hard drive to transfer these files to, once they are captured. I have a PC with Premiere Pro CC. What format and codec should I capture these tapes in that will be best for him to edit his footage? I don't work with macs so I'm fairly ignorant about their video codec needs.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. :-)

Unless you can download the Quicktime ProRes codec for PC, which quite frankly I don't know if it enables capture, you can capture in the standard Premier DV codec. He will be able to play these files or convert them to QuickTime.

Capture as dv on the pc. He can import as is.

Thanks guys! That's what I'll do!
