How do I hook up a digital camera to my computer?

I would like to import video from my camera into Windows
Movie Maker, but I cannot find information in the owner's
manual that clearly explains how to do so.

Do I need to get a special video card? Or can I directly
link my camera to my computer, and copy the contents of
the videotape within the camera.

Thanks in advance!
 
The answer depends upon which camera you have.
If it has an IEEE-1394 (also known as FireWire
or iLink) interface, you can capture the video to
your PC in DV-AVI format, which is the highest
quality.

Take a look at your owners manual. I'm sure
you'll find the information you need there.
If not, please reply with the make & model
of your camera, and I'm sure someone will be
able to help you out.
