Thanks, Nobody.

Forgive my ignorance, but is "a firewire based one" like the lead I have
which connects my digital camera to my computr's USB port, i.e. straight
cable with USB plug at one end and a tiny D-shaped plug at the other?

Is there a firewire video converter available which will connect my
camcorder (with its separate traditional V & A output sockets) to a USB
port?
