Jun 10, 2015 10:30 AMby Phil0124,HelpfulSeveral more Google searches reveal this Camcorder requires drivers/software, even through firewire.
It does not look like you can actually plug it into a Mac and have it be recognized. Maybe a PC, if you find the drivers for it.
If you saved your videos to the SD Card, you may be able to transfer them directly from it, but not through the Camcorder.

Jun 10, 2015 11:36 AMby wickstr67,Thanks Phil0124 - I will look around to see if I can get the drivers/software - I don't have the original disc it came with - but that could be the problem, I have an old PC and will try using the USB on that - the video is on the tape, with this Camcorder - not the SD Card, it only records to tape. I was just hoping there was a firewire to thunderbolt option available for me
thanks again

Jun 10, 2015 11:50 AMby Phil0124,HelpfulWell, there is a firewire to TB adapter:

But no way to know if its actually going to work. You can always return the adapter within 14 daystar a full refund if it doesn't though.
