Exactly. The problem is that the camera and the software will still be looking for data on a firewire BUS. Adding a firewire to USB adapter, or using a dual format external drive as a hub adapter, isn't going to magically add a firewire bus that the software understands as being firewire. And again, to capture DV or HDV from tape over firewire, you need firewire's *sustained* data rate, which USB - even USB2 - doesn't have. Unless someone has designed a system that EMULATES firewire over USB2 in a way that fools the OS, the software and camera involved, the cam and software will not speak to each other to the degree needed for capturing. And even if such a thing exists, you still won't have the sustained throughput needed for reliable capture.
