I made this video because some people have wondered if the newer version of OS X and the new M1 iMac will support Firewire devices.

Sorry, but FireWire is not supported any more in any recent Mac or any recent version of MacOS. The last Macs that supported FireWire dated from about 2013.

In addition, standard-def video support has been depreciated in all recent Macs and all recent versions of MacOS.

Rjl90365,

You are sorry? You should be sorry that your information is incorrect? I have a 2017 Mac Mini that can use Firewire devices and I was able to do it with a new M1 iMac. I made my video to debunk incorrect comments like yours. That being said your opionion cannot change the facts but the facts should change your opinion. Apple computers newer than 2013 can make use of Firewire devices. Very few people still need to transfer VHS tapes but for those who do the Firewire DV converters are still an option for the M1 iMac.
