I haven't seen a firewire in ten years.. There is still a better way than the video grabber. What would that be?

Howdy,

Any further answer on that better way?

Capture your video over a USB connection using the Diamond VC500, available for about $40 on Amazon.

Use the software that comes with the VC500.

The results will edit beautifully in PowerDirector.
