Replying to Need Help!- HV30 connection to MacBook.

Juice.Doctor:
Hey NS, I have a bit of a problem that I'm sure has an easy solution, but I can't seem to find it on my own. Any help at all is greatly appreciated. I also apologize for using incorrect terminology in advance.

Well, I recently purchased a Canon HV30 from another member on here and I am quite happy with it. I currently own a MacBook with these ports:

The cord my HV30 uses to connect to computers is this: (I think it is just a firewire)

My computer can't connect to it because it doesn't have a port like this:

I already bought this: (same thing, only USB)

but it doesn't work because the HV30 only works with the Firewire.

I have access to another computer that is compatible with the firewire so i was wondering if it is possible to import my clips on that computer, save them to a flash drive, and then save them to my MacBook without loosing quality.
I really want to be able to import directly to my MacBook though.
I will be editing on Final Cut X if that makes any difference.

Thanks guys,
Shane
