Hi Wojo and thanks for trying to help me. The firewire worked perfect but it
was my camera that ended up being the ultimate problem. It didn't work w/
Hi8 tapes which is what all my old tapes are. After going back and forth
about buying a dazzle 80 or 90 and trying everything Papa John and Blaine
suggested at the other Movie Maker site, I ended up returning my camcorder
and getting the TRV480 Sony Handycam that does everything I need. So thank
you for your input, but I can finally move on..... to my next problem! I
let you know when I get there!
Thanks again!
Julie
