i just bought a camcorder and a ieee1394 card and the dv cable. What i need to know is what software do i need to capture and transfer the movies that i record from the camera to the computer.
You can do it with MovieMaker which is included in Windows XP. There are also several freeware capture programs. On this page you will find a collection: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/downloads/freedownloads.php
