i know that several in the group have experience with this, so i am looking for someone that can give me a pointer or two.

i have a digital video camera and want to record some video... but i want to record it straight to the laptop, instead of onto a tape first and then importing it.

i am on a powerbook, using iMovie. the camera has USB, DVi, and S-Video outs (and perhaps firewire, i'm not positive).

i have never used iMovie before, but it seems pretty straight forward. the instructions for iMovie say that to import video, you should first record it and then import it via firewire.

i am pretty sure that my s-video port is only an out port.

so, as the instructions said... it appears that the only way to import video is via firewire. so, i guess my only question is can i record it into the computer live? or do i have to record it onto the camera first and then capture it?
