I have a DV Cam project with 6 tapes.My Macbook Pro laptop has only one Firewire connection.How do I capture from a Firewire Camera and store the footage on an external hard disk at the same time?

Does your HD have 2 firewires? You could daisy chain the camera and HD. Or how about capturing to internal HD then transferring to ext HD.
