TB,
Okay! The "fog" seems to be clearing a bit. To summarize my thoughts (based on your assistance)...
I'm concluding that I'll need to use the S-video connector to receive input from my analog VCR. I suppose the Firewire connection will be reserved for receiving digital input (eg. digital camera). Also, if the PC has an operable port, it should also have what's required to receive input from that port. I'll definitely check-out the Ulead Videostudio. Will it allow me to edit still photos and audio files, as well as video? (I currently have no software for any of these functions.) Based on your input, it sounds like there are no Adobe "entry level" products that will transition me from WMM to Premiere Pro CS3 (Adobe Master Suite).
Thanks for sharing the origin of your username. What exactly is your favourite pastime?
