The 1394 digital link standard was conceived in 1986 by technologists at Apple Computer, who chose the trademark 'FireWire'. It was adopted in 1995 as the IEEE 1394 standard at about the same time that Sony introduced its trademarked i.Link.
An unknown number of people have problems with Firewire transfers and others have no problems. I am in the latter case with two Sony's (HC40 and TRV460) tested on at least six computers (all PC's, none Mac). Apple has a "compatability list" which did not seem current/updated the last time I saw it. I'm not sure where the current list is maintained. I do not own a Mac.
