how do I get my camcorder to download to my mac??????

I know mac does not support my camcorder, sony dcr-dvd201. I do want to get the video to my mac to edit it. There has to be a device I can buy to transfer the mini-dvd data to my mac. I have a lot of baby footage and need it!!! Also do they make upgrades for moviehd? Like fades or special effects? Thanks for ANY HELP!!!
