connecting a mini dv camera to 2021 MacBook Pro

I have a 2021 MacBook Pro with usb4 thunderbolt. I want to connect a mini dv camcorder to record to iMovie. I have a cable with mini dv connection to the camera on one end and firewire 800 male on the other. Are there adapters available to do this? I am thinking I may need several to get there.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.0

Hey KOMASON,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We'd like to help by getting you pointed in the right direction for assistance.


We recommend reaching out to the camcorder's manufacturer to see what they recommend for connecting to your MacBook Pro. This way, if there are any needed firmware updates, or any special adapters needed for the camcorder they will be able to let you know.


Let us know if there is anything we can do.



Take care!
