Got a Sony Camcorder without realizing the importance of a Fire Wire Card.

Want to edit my videos and i'm planning to acquire a FireWire Card and a DV cable, but is there all to it or must i get a Capture Card?

Because from what i read (Adobe Premier's Manual), it seems like i do need one.

But it seems to me that Windows Movie Maker and Dr.DivX only needs a FireWire Card. Am i right about this?

Is it possible to get the video from my camcorder for editing through just a FireWire port and without a Capture Card?

Athlon XP 2200+, MSI K7N2 Delta-L MCP2, 256 PC2700 DDR 333, MSI NVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 bit, Realtek ALC650 6-channel audio, Maxtor 40GB.

All you need for capturing from firewire is a firewire port and capture software. I'm not certain if Windows is able to treat the cam as a portable hard drive, else you wouldn't need the capture software.

When my friend did some dv work on my comp he plugged the cam into the firewire and it came up as a digital imaging device. Then he just went into his dv app (I think it was ulead) and imported the video. The firewire makes it much faster than a capture card bec you can record it faster than realtime :)
