I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks and I'd like to take a camera with me so that I can make a brief video montage of the week when I get back.

I don't have a camera of my own (and it seems a little excessive to buy my own just yet), but I've managed to borrow one from a friend. The only issue is that it's a few years old and records on to those tapes that are a little smaller than a cassette but about three times as thick. When you want to watch footage back, you have to put that tape into a "VHS Tape" that is inserted into the video player. I believe it's called VHS(c) format.

Anyway, the point of my post is that I'm concerned whether I'll be able to import this footage into Premiere so that I can edit it and if I can, how I might be able to do that. I'm guessing I won't be able to use Firewire, but is there someway that I could get the tape to play in the video camera while also recording it in Premiere?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
