In case you're interested, I'm capturing the video from my Canon 100MC using an ATI DV Wonder Card (at $40 it was the cheapest "brand-name" option for 1394 input) via a 4-pin to 6-pin 1394/Firewire cable. Editing is done in Premiere 6.0, which I'm just starting to learn -- it's a little quirky feeling compared to the Mac Avid editors and the mechanical decks I've used in the past. Output is done using the built-in export features of Premiere. I use Windows Media instead of Quicktime simply because more people seem to have it (apologies to the Mac users.)
I still need to edit together Thanksgiving dinner -- compress 2 hours of material into 5-10 minutes of final material. It sounds harsh but really, would you want to spend more than 5 minutes watching stuff that happened at Thanksgiving? Probably not.
