I used a "Dazzle" set up I bought from Sears. $99. Came with a three port 1394 (FireWire) PCI card and U-Lead Video Studio 4.

Just a note, Dig. Vid. is time consuming and you need lots of HD space and fast processing. When I had a 500Mhx P3 it took an hour to convert 7 minutes of DV to an AVI. My 1000Mhx does it in 1/2 hour.

A 1 hour vdeo takes an hour to load (limited by speed of Camcorder).

I like it, but it is very time consuming.

I bought a 60G drive just for the space. IIRC, it took about 100Meg/minute, ie 10 minutes is 1Gig.

Have Fun....Really....I still like it.
