True which is why I didnt suggest them. They exist but may "confuse" the Electronics in a camcorder, or the capturing Software will not feature the USB port as one it expects to capture DV video data from
using the real thing is (IMHO) less likely to run you into compatibility issues
Even the very rare MiniDV camcorder which did use USB could only do so with their own software ( Eg Panasonic Motion DV )
I would imagine they would be more handy for use of a firewire
Ext HDD to a PC or Mac without firewire
