Capturing from a DV Camcorder
You can capture video content that you recorded with a DV camcorder.
Use the capture from a DV camcorder option only if your camcorder connects to
your computer using an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable. You can capture a single scene
or a number of scenes in a batch from your camcorder.
