I have a mac firewire 400 cable that i was able to capture video on my mom's imac no problem using imovie. I have a new macbook pro 15 inch and i got a converter from 9 pin to the firewire 400 which then goes 4 pin into my sony camcorder. When I go to imovie, I can't see the camera to import video. Is there a setting I need to do?

Is the Firewire port enabled?

Dock: System Preferences: Network: … sorry – doing this from memory – there are two drop-downs it is the lower of the two… basically, it opens a window that lists all the network poerts and whether they are enabled (with a check mark) or not. There needs to be a checkmark in the Firewire box…

If the port is enabled, it *could* be the converter. I've been using a Belkin 4-pin to 9-pin cable that works great.
