Question

if not is there any way i can get a cable with one side firewire and the other usb?i dont want to install a firewire card

Answer 1

No.

Only Firewire - using the DV port on the camera connected to the firewire port on your computer.

USB-Firewire converters do not work. the communications protocol used is different and the applications won't recognize DV trying to come in the USB port. (That's why USB-specific drivers are required for USB and there are no "firewire-device drivers" only drivers to make the firewire card work).

Answer 2

I don't think you can, and firewire to USB converters are a waste of money even if you find one that works (most don't).  But why use a semi -pro camcorder and then risk s******g things up for want of a $20 card?
