Gene,

This feature works as explained.

You don't need a "special" capture card of any kind.

Any OHCI compliant Firewire port will work.

What you *do* need is a MiniDV camcorder.

1. Connect the four-pin end of a Firewire cable to the camcorder;

2. Connect the other end of the Firewire cable to your computer's
Firewire port.

3. Power your camcorder "on."

4. Choose the correct capture driver within the Ulead software and
then capture directly to the MPEG file format.

That's all there is to it.

I've done it many times.

A cheap IEEE 1394 card will work if your computer doesn't already have
a built-in Firewire port.
