Adobe Premiere, all the way...

Pinnacle Studio isnt too bad either. It is very easy to use but doesnt have as many features as Premeire.

what you are looking for is a Fire wire cable, Fast and easy, its plug and play.

Heres is what you need:

A computer input (circled)

is it a program u can buy with the firewire cables included?...or is it just the cable...and if its just the cable will windows movie maker work with this?...thanx

You could also use a capture card that would have A/V inputs for using an analog camcorder or vcr. It is possible that yoru friend has this. (A vcr can also be hooked up to your computer through a digital camcorder with firewire, but that is another topic) The firewire will only work with a digital one that has the firewire outs.

Chances are the camera you are talking about does have it, but if not, you will be forced to spend a little extra on the capture card.

Either way, you are looking at around 20 for a firewire cable and card. I bought a card from newegg.com for $10 (shipped) and a cable on ebay for $7 (shipped).

and...yes firewire shoudl be compatible with movie maker. I have never used it personally, but all video editing software I am aware of have firewire support.

It could just be your average video in input, you know like the Red Yellow and White cables for your PS2, Nintendo etc. You can get a card that goes into your computer or a bit that hooks up to your USB ports.
