Capturing and editing your home movies doesn't require expensive equipment. The Movie Maker software is free to anyone who has Windows XP.
If you happen to have a digital video camera, that's great—you can load your movies directly into Movie Maker using your IEEE 1394 port.
It will even work with a analog Hi-8 camera. To capture analog movie you will need a $50 video capture card from your local electronics store.
Just click the Start Capture button in Movie Maker. At the end of the clip, I clicked Stop Capture, as shown in Figure 1, and then clicked Finish.
