I'm sorry but my Sony HGR-HC9 was stolen from my home a few years ago so I no longer have it. I can tell you that it was one of the best cameras I ever owned and I suspect it did have a firewire port, but I am not positive about that.

I haven't done so, but if U could transfer files between 2 macs that have FireWire 800, then it should work. If you're not sure, I'd check some of the Mac forums.

Yes, on a macbook pro retina, running OSX 10.9.2, no problems. I used a simple cam app called DwayneCam that allowed me to chose the video source, although more sophisticated apps are also likely to work. No drivers necessary (I love Macs).

Hi, thanks for your interest, only Firewire port (no usb port) or you need to get something like elgato analog to digital converter if you need to connect it to your computer via USB port. Take care, Norman.

The Sony HDR-HC3 4MP does work with the Mac, in fact, that's the computer that I use. It works with Imovie and Final Cut Pro without any hassle via Firewire. If you have one of the new Macs, they don't have any Firewire, but they sell USB to Firewire 800 adapters and you can also buy a Firewire 400 (the conector of the camera) to Firewire 800 and conect it to the Usb to Firewire 800 adapter.

I am trying to use it with a Mac Pro. I can make it work but there are issues. The mac won't recognize it at startup. I have to unhook it and reconnect after startup. It works fine then, if I just put the mac to sleep its fine at wake up.

I can't honestly say, as I haven't used a FIREWIRE to capture video in a few years, but: Plug the camera into the FIREWIRE port on the computer. Have "capture" turned on in your software. The Intensity is connected with Thunderbolt, and should see the video with audio you are previewing to capture and play it back through the HDMI OUT port.

Yes it could using the firewire port on the camera to live stream to your computer.

I just have mine hooked to my Mac through firewire so, I don't know for sure but, it should work.

it has a firewire output. my Mac saw it right away, either in imovie or final cut. Newer computers have thunderbolt and not firewire ... don't think it'll work

Hi Jaime, this Sony CCD-TRV68 doesn't have or support Firewire connection on your Mac PC. For you to transfer videos coming from your Hi8 tapes from this camcorder, what you need is an AV connecting cable (male mini plug to RCA). In addition, you may wanted to use this Sony DVDirect MC6 DVD Recorder (model #VRDMC6) for you to transfer on DVD first. Hope this helps. -Ely

Yes, at least mine were using Firewire. This one also has Firewire and a USB 3.0 port, while earlier models do not. That worked out great for connecting USB 3.0 to a new 5k iMac, which is faster than FW anyway; but my older ones cannot as the 5k iMac has no Firewire port.

I'm using it with a Panasonic Pv-gs120 MiniDV 3-Chip camcorder on the Firewire mostly. But I have also used it with a Logitech USB webcam. I have also tested it with my JVC HiDef SD Camcorder on USB. It's a pretty flexible software when it comes to camera selection.

I can't assure you 100%, but it works perfectly with my 2010 MacbookPro. So I would say yes if you have a firewire port on the Mac Pro

Hi MB:I am in the market for a webcam for my mid-2010 Mac Mini. Did you get the LifeCam up and running? How is it working? Do you recommend the LifeCam or have alternate recommendations?Thanks, and Happy holidays!TQM
