I don't think new apps that appear now are going to support Firewire from a camera, everything is USB/SD card based these days.
I'm guessing you are using a DV tape based camera?
You could look into a video interface card for your PC, then connect the camera to that interface so you can record the output of the camera into the PC as a digital file, then ingest into your editor of choice.
Yes, It's a Sony Mini DV - DCR-TRV19 HandiCam...It's a few years old.... like around 12 years.. I have the PCI-Express card, cable and all for Firewire,.. just need the application to pull the video from it.

I just posted a list of free and open source Movie Maker replacements the other day, there should be some things on that list worth checking out.
Been searching.. Not pulling it up...

I have it all set with Firewire, so the transfer isn't an issue. Just pulling it off.
Some how I am starting to think that the translation / explanation of this isn't correct....
Okay. I have the Camera, cable, Firewire PCIExpress card. I need to PULL the video from the camera to the computer so that I can work with it.
Working with it isn't so much of the issue. But I need to move it from the Camera <to> the computer. MS Windows Movie Maker had the ability to import / copy / whatever right from the camera.

How is it recorded? On most consumer/pro-sumer cameras the storage parition is mounted as a windows drive when you plug in the camera. Can't you pull the files directly off the storage?

It is Tape.. That is one thing that MS WMM had going for it,.. while not the best solution, it could 'control' the camera and capture to file, either manually, but time or by file size.

Went and poked around on Sony's site a bit.
What I have called Firewire, they call i.Link.

From there I ended up with something about Play Memories -...

You can thank Apple for that... Apple trademarked "FireWire" so everyone else had to come up with their own name for IEEE1394

Well, you can thank people using Apple's term for IEEE1394. The real name is just IEEE1394. Calling it FireWire or i.Link is the issue. Just call it by its real name and it gets much clearer
