None of the hard drive camcorders will work without the 'Black box'.  
This adapter converts any video signal to digital via firewire,  
fooling iMovie into thinking a $3,000 firewire camera is connected.
Firewire 800 is also being scrapped for USB 3. This is a step in the  
right direction to bring the cost of peripherals down for Macs. After  
all, the 'U' stands for universal.
