Firewire on digital camcorder to laptop
I have a digital camcorder with a firewire output and want to download the video to my laptop computer to burn to DVD. The computer does not have a firewire port, a PCIe slot, or an expresscard slot. ...

It is a Sony DCR-HC21. Since the tape must play at its record speed, real time capture is all I can hope for. There is no mass storage retrieval from the camcorder.
Everything I have read says that those Firewire to USB cables are a waste of money.
My computer does have a "SS-USB" port that I understand is USB 3.
I don't really care that the download is in real time. I can start the playback/capture and go do something else. I just need a way for the computer to see/accept the data stream from the camcorder.
