[Hidden-tech] Need adapter to download video content to MacBook Pro

[Rikk Desgres]

Firewire is a digital interface, so you are dealing with digital media.
There is no USB to firewire adapter, but there is a Thunderbolt to USB
adapter. All new Macbooks have Thunderbolt. If it¹s a slightly older Macbook
it may have a Firewire 800 port (it¹s square/rectangle shaped.) You will
need a 4 pin to 800 adapter in that case.

Hi,

My niece, a student at GCC, needs an adapter to download video content onto
her MacBook Pro. The video camera is a Sony brand, about 10 years old, uses
videotapes not digital, and uses firewire to download to a computer. The
challenge is that the new MacBook Pro does not support firewire. I believe
it is a USB port she needs to adapt to, maybe mini USB. (But I can clarify
if someone may possibly have what she needs)

A gift of the adaptor is ideal. A loan would be her next choice.

Thanks!
Deb
