Okay, so I'm cheating because I want to (cheaply) transfer video via USB
2.0.

My other USB devices work fine, but when I go to capture in Movie
Factory I get an error message to the effect of "There is no capture
driver on the system."

I understand Windows Movie Maker 2 will work with USB fine, however it's
only available for Windows XP and I have Windows 2000 Pro.

My concern, is that if I run out and buy a firewire kit (card, cable) it
may not work for me. I certainly don't want to be in the hole $40-50.

Will a firewire card magically make this problem disappear, and let me
capture my video in Movie Factory just fine?

Any help is appreciated, and let me know if I need to provide more info.

Thanks!

Ken

Hi from Tony in the UK,

Firewire card should do the trick. Newegg have one at $12 including a
cable. Have a look at
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProd [...] 218&depa=0
.. 99% sure it will work for you.

USB only for the still pictures. Need Firewire for video capture. The cruel
Japanese manual writers never seem to make that clear.
