Thanks, brief question here...

I'm a little confused here... agreed that a digital-digital link (IEEE 1394)
is best,

but let's say I've got analog video (like from a VCR or old analog cam), so
an analog signal is coming towards the PC. Isn't what ends up in WMM on the
PC by definition
*digital* (no matter how it got there...thru any card, thru Dazzle,
whatever).

So, seems like I wouldn't really need Dazzle at all to "convert" it, right?
That is, if I can get it into WMM, it for sure got converted to digital,
right?

Anyway, pls excuse newness, still working to get up to speed,

George
