You need a third party application /codecs that recognises the sony protocol e.g. mts ext that can transcode those files either into mov,mpeg2 etc environment so that the imac recognise them
SOURCE: repair firewire Sony HDR-HC3
I have a HDR-HC3 and I had the same problem too... This model has ALOT of problems with transferring files and I need to pay $90 to get it repaired... Try it on a Mac, if iMovie cant pick it up it means you have a firewire problem.
SOURCE: can't seem to transfer footage from my SONY HDR SR10 to my imac
I don't know if you would call this a solution but I do know that some computers or programs will not except certain cameras. For instance I have a Sony computer and the editing program I have is Adobe Premier which will not except footage from my JVC camera but will except the footage through my Canon camera. I think the Eggheads that design these programs just like to screw with people.

Hello,
ECM-HZ1 Microphone is compatible as HDR-HC3 has Active Interface Shoe for this mic.

Which software package are you using? My brother was able to solve the HD capture problem by using Adobe After Effects.
