while there are a number of devices that claim to do the job, none of them are really successful.
I have a Canon HV20 camcorder that has a USB port. I would like to capture footage in Final Cut Express on my iMac. Is there an adapter that would link the USB port in the camcorder to the Firewire port in the back of the iMac?
