Connection ports to transfer my old digital video tapes Problem - old Sony digital video camera. out port on camera no longer available. I still have my old Firewire which does connect and used to connect to old Mac which crashed a long time ago. My 2017 Mac of course has thunderbolt and usb connections. Any ideas? I find it amazing that I was able to transfer old VHS tapes into my computer using Roxio but now cannot figure out how to transfer video tapes because of the newer connections. Is there any such thing as an adaptor that would make my firewire able to connect to my new Mac?

Old HDV tapes into Final Cut without a Firewire port. I need to get my old HDV tapes from a Sony HDR-HC3 into a project in HD. On the old computer, it was no problem as the camera has a Firewire to Firewire cable. My 2018 Mac Mini has no Firewire port. Do I need some type of Firewire adaptor?

Mac Powerbook does not recognize Sony DCR TRV10 Camcorder I am trying to archive a bunch of Mini DV tapes recorded on my Sony DCR TRV10 Camcorder. I hooked up the camcorder to the Powerbook via i.link (4pin) to 9 pin firewire cable and then Apple firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor. I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14.2. The macbook does not recognize the camcorder. When I looked online to see what iMovie was compatible with, it did not list my camcorder specifically, but it said that "iMovie works with most mini DV tape-based camcorders using DV and HDV formats. Use FireWire port for tape-based devices." When I hook it up, I make sure that I have the AC power connected to the camcorder, and turn it on to "VTR" mode. What can be the problem?
