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?

VideoStudio allows you to edit audio, video and stills as well. It is a pretty comprehensive programme and in my opinion is very good.
In terms of entry level Adobe stuff - you could look at Premiere Elements which is a scaled down version of Premiere Pro. Again, it is still a steep learning curve and I think you will be better off with VideoStudio. Apart from that everything else you have got nailed on the head so good luck with the capturing!!!
My favourite pastime..hmm...Probably a mixture of bass playing, video editing, graphic design, seeing my girlfriend and listening to my favourite band delirious?
!!!!!!
Good Luck
