Hi!
Not sure if I can help but here is my 2 cents worth!
I have a macbook pro that I use to capture live video weekly. I use an apple cable with a 4-pin firewire male (for canopus or camera) to thunderbolt end for the port on my mac. Works great. I don't use the firewire port on the mac because the thunderbolt port is faster. I use premiere pro cs6 to capture video from a Canopus ADCV 300 video converter. I also capture from a Sony DCR-VX2100.
You don't give any information about your mac's specs or if you have ever been successful capturing before with this mac and the cable you have. Also what the program is that you are using to capture. More information might help me give you more specifics.
I will tell you I have found mac's are picky when it come to cables. I have always use apple cables for capturing and had no problem. Just an idea. I can't imagine your program would not recognize the firewire as most video editing programs will recognize firewire connections.
