I just borrowed a Sony TRV33 camcorder and have an USB cable and a Firewire 4 pin to 4 pin cable. My Mac seems to have only the 6 pin Firewire ports. Is there a way to transfer video from a Sony TRV33 camcorder to a Mac using a USB cable? When I connect it using USB, the Mac doesn't even recognize the device in 'VCR' mode on the camcorder (nothing gets mounted on the file system). Bu it does work well in the 'camera/memory stick' mode to transfer still pictures.
I do know that with the correct Firewire cable it would automatically launch iMovie. I've tried searching for answers but seem to find suggestions to use Firewire (since it's a borrowed camcorder I don't want to unnecessarily spend $30+ for a new cable).
Any ideas/suggestions?
