Thanks for the advice so far.

It is a Sony Handycam that I have. I should have mentioned that up front. It has three outputs, an A/V, the one I use with the USB cable, and a third, which is "iLINK". I assume that it is this third we are talking about.

My PC is running windows XP sp2 (I have been using the Movie Maker that comes with it).

So from what I gather from above, I need to get a firewire card and a cable, and I should be in business.

Thanks
Nick
