Canon Hd Video Camera

I have a camera Canon HD CMOS video, and I saved something on what I am now off the machines and use, but I can not figure out how to get video clips off. my roommate's boyfriend says I need to use a Mac is what I try to do, but there is no slot to FireWire. If I take the little thing attached to the end of FireWire, and it fits, but nothing happens.

If you have a PC that is connected to the Internet Canon.com pick your model number of camera, and then click on the software by loading the soft ware you download will include drivers for your version of Windows and video editing software that will allow you to transfer files from your camera, you should be able to move ahead with a FireWire or USB mini lead. if you have the new camera, you should already have the necessary soft ware. luck.

We know you have a gun, but this model is it?
