I also have a Canon Optura20 camcorder (at least 15 years old) that I used to use the FireWire cord to transfer my videos to my older iMac.

I ordered the elate FireWire 400 to 800 Adapter, which I can plug my Firewire cord into, then into the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter, which can then be plugged into my iMac. I was able to download the video from my Optura 20 camcorder using that connection. Regrettably, the audio portion of the Fuji cassette recording did not download: (br>I'm back to square one, hoping to find a way to download the video as well as the audio so that I can make DVDs to give to family. br>Another option is to take the camera and cassette to a local company that can transfer the video and audio to an external hard drive.

It is not going to work! To use this, you'll need a FireWire port. It is compatible with your 2013 MacBook Pro.
Just go to Amazon or eBay and look for a Firewire to USB adapter. But keep in mind that just because the adapters fit together doesn't mean they'll work with every device. I tried connecting a Firewire 400 iSight to a USB port, but it didn't work. However, it's not too expensive to give it a shot.

This adapter was purchased in conjunction with two other adapters in order to use an older Firewire 400 audio interface with a new Mac Mini. I've never had much luck using multiple adapters in series before, but this worked perfectly and did not appear to add any extra latency. It's wired into a FW800 router. A Thunderbolt 2 adapter is a device that connects a Thunderbolt 2 port to a Thunderbolt 2 port on a computer. The Mini is connected by a Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Again, I was surprised that it worked, but I'm glad it did because it saved me from having to pay a fortune for a comparable rackmount interface. I've been running it for about 6 weeks and have had no problems; highly recommended.
This is perfect for connecting older Firewire devices to newer Firewire ports. External iSght cameras are connected to some of my Macs by mine. br>br>The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that they protrude a long way (nearly 2") from the Firewire port, making them easy to bang, hang on, and break. I had been using Apple's, which were identical in size, shape, and function but cost four times as much. All of my Apple adapters died as a result of sticking out and being hit too many times by accident.
This item seems to be of good quality. As part of a four-part series, it worked flawlessly. part of a daisy Two of the four segments were Apple products, and they were used to connect a Sony digital video camera from the 1990s that had a firewire IEEE port to a Lenovo Yoga 730 Thunderbolt 3 port. The digital signal was immediately recognized by Corel Video Studio Ultimate, and my video was perfectly downloaded. The only issue I encountered was when I attempted to connect the firewire to it for the first time. It was adamant about not going in. I examined both pieces thoroughly before attempting to "fit a square peg into a round hole. " I figured the "ribs" poking into the firewire opening were just to keep the wire in place. The firewire did indeed snap into place and fit snugly. Because that was its sole purpose, I decided to leave it attached!.
As part of a connection between a 2014 Mac Mini (Thunderbolt 2 port) and an RME Fireface 400 Sound Interface (Firewire 400 port), it works flawlessly.
