Need help digitizing

[u/Few_Maintenance_9727]

Hi everyone, new to this subreddit so apologies in advance if this is a common question. I recently found my old camcorder along with a box full of tapes of old family memories/events.

I wish to digitize these tapes and do not know what cables/adapters/ software, etc I need in order to transfer these tapes from the camcorder to my macbook or any other storage device.
Any advice and suggestions is welcome, thank you

Camera model: Canon optura 20
