Capturing video with a digital camera is a breeze. All you need is one Firewire
cable and you’re in business. Unlike complicated cables that are used with older analogue video, this one cable transfers both audio and video signals and also
allows the computer to control your camera. It’s slick and best of all it’s darned simple.
