I capture analog video from my VCR through an ADS box and it seems to work
pretty good.

I have digital cable and presume it should be must better. The cable box
has both a USB and firewire port. Can I hook my cable box to my computer,
and use Move Maker to capture digital video?

If I'm tempted to experiment, any potential problems with me hooking these
two devices together?

Thanks, Steve

Most cable boxes are DV in only and the USB port isn't enabled. Very few
are DV Out as well.... but you can try.
