If I'm not mistaken, he is referring to capturing what the
camera 'sees' rather than what has been recorded on tape. In other
words, bypassing using the tape at all. There are tools that do this
very well, like DVRack from Serious Magic, but Premiere can do a
decent job too - I just tested it.
The trick is to set the camera to camcorder mode, not VCR mode, and
open the capture screen (F5 in Pro). Then as long as you can see a
live image in the preview monitor, just click on record, and away you
go.
