I'm trying to connect my Sony HDR-HC9 camcorder to my laptop and transfer video from the tape in the camcorder to my hard drive with Sony's software. My laptop does not have a firewire plug on it.
 


Does your laptop have a Expresscard slot or any slot for an add-in card? If yes, you could try something like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007641&IsNodeId=1&Description=firewire%20adapter&name=Laptop%20Add-on%20Cards&isdeptsrh=1

Everything I have read has said not to bother trying to use a "Firewire to USB" cable as they do not work.
