What software do I need to upload a video from a camcorder onto a mac using a firewire?

I have to upload a video from a canon camcorder using a firewire but I've never used the firewire before and I don't have the software that goes with it. I downloaded firewire 2.3.3. from mac and it opens as a VLC document but I don't know what to do next. Does anyone know?

You may take a look at this guide, it's about how to import video from camcorder to mac, it works pretty well for me.
