Capture: device offline / no device control (Sony hi8 tape)

Dear all,

I am trying to digitalize recorded video tapes from an old handicap (Sony video Hi8 Handycam CCD-TR825E).

I once bought a package with all sorts of cables (from usb to S-VHS). It is connected with my Mac, but it doesn't recognize the camera. So Premiere Pro also doesn't recognize it and says Device Offline or No Device Control.

Is it because of the cables, the device or can I try something with software? I also checked the menu options in the device but nothing much to change over there...

But I am absolutely not an expert as you may notice.

Can someone help me? Perhaps no Mac but trying another device?

If this is an analog camera you need a hardware converter (dont know how this works on a mac. I am windows).

You can only capture from a camera with firewire.
