If you don't have a DV camera (i.e. no IEEE1394 interface) then you need a capture card - sometimes video cards have this function built in - I believe the All - in - wonder cards do but I'm not sure - I believe it's better to have a dedicated card, but as I use DV exclusively, analogue capture is not something I know much about. I'm sure there must be others in this forum who can be more specific!
