MacBook - DV Camera and FW400 External HD


is possible import video mini-dv camera external hard drive on macbook?

hard drive in question western digital book pro - has 2 fw800 , 1 usb b port, unfortunately 1 fw400, daisy-chaining seems out of question.

firewire hub work, or 1 port unable sustain data transfer rate required?
 

i've done dv fw400 capture without issues, although admit 2 ports.

given dv stream "only" 4mb/s (32mbit), can plug drive usb port , capture way. should (theoretically) work fine fw400 hub--there's plenty of bandwidth--and may reduce chance of dropped frames, although cause issues because of reserved bandwidth or something.

not area, , maybe else has better suggestion, i'd give usb2 shot , see if works start with.
