Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 12 years and 8 months old so it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information. Please keep that in mind as I can't be held responsible for out-of-date content!Since I have a digital video camera of course I want to be able to edit video on my PC. Since most digital camcorders have IEEE 1394 ports (also called Firewire (by Apple), or iLink (by Sony)), I also have a Firewire card: the inexpensive PYRO 1394DV card from ADS Tech. The PCI card provides two external (and one internal) Firewire ports, a cable to connect to your camcorder, and is bundled with Ulead’s VideoStudio SE which pretty easy to learn. Beware … you need a LOT of hard drive space to store all the digital video clips!

The bundle has obviously been revised since I purchased the card back in 1999. It still has VideoStudio, but has added several DVD authoring solutions as well.
