I have a Macbook Air, with USB and Thunderbolt ports. I'd like to download to iMovie from my Sony HandyCam DCR HC21. I have a Firewire cable, which I used to download to my old Macbook Pro. Is there an adapter? Do I have to download to the old Pro and transfer?
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Thanks. Just ordered the adpter. I'll let you know how it goes.
The adapter is for Firewire 800. My camcorder cable (and my old external hard drive where I've stored imovies) are both 400's. Is the a Firewire 400 to Thunderbolt or USB adapter that will work for my MB Air?
B&H Photo sells a Belkin BEHFW6P 6-port Firewire 400 Hub. That, and a 800 to 400 cable did the trick for me. It also allows you to access any FW400 drives you may have.
