There are tens of different models of Mavica out there (3 current ones, 
I believe). Specifying the model and providing other relevant data 
might help you get more useful replies.

The Adaptec UDF Volume Access is an extension for Mac OS 8 and 9. It's 
not designed for and doesn't work in OS X; and it doesn't work in 
Classic, because Classic doesn't have direct access to hardware. 
However, it's not required in OS X, since support for UDF v1.5 is 
built-in.

Check your camera's specs. What version of UDF does it use? OS X does 
not support UDF 2.0, but you can read it with third-party apps, such as 
ReadDVD! <http://www.softarch.com/>. Also, reading the packet-writing 
format Sony uses might require additional software.
