Hi, you need a capture card like the Pinnacle Studio AV/DV, or a Firewire converter, such as the Canopus ADVC series. It's not gonna cost you more than $100. Check out our FAQ about video capture, read the reviews, then decide.

You're right, that's for DVD recording, or it can capture in MPEG-2 (DVD format) which isn't appropriate for editing.
Look for devices that can capture AVI video.

I suspect a decent capture soloution will cost as much as a DV camera ! My suggestion is to simplify matters and buy a DV camera and shoot on that.
