Can't import video from camera

Hi Everyone,

I'm a fresh faced new Mac user and am having a heck of time trying to find a way to import video from my SonyHandy camera (DCR-TRV103). It connects with firewire, but iMovie doesn't recognize it at all. Are there any settings I can change to get it to manually look for the device? I can't see the device detect on the mac at all; is there a 'device manager' type menu (I know I'm still thinking like a windows user)?Are there any other mac compatible programs out there that will import from different video cameras other than iMovie tested list?

What are the best Mac software sites to search for this sort of stuff besides apple.com? (I'm hoping for some freeware). I'd like to use iMovie, if I can just get my video imported.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The Sony HandyCam DCR-TRV103 is a Digital 8 camcorder. IIRC, Apple supported this format back in the day, but no longer.
