A video capture device lets you transfer live or recorded video to your computer. In Windows Movie Maker, you can use the following types of capture devices to capture video (and in some cases, audio as well) to your computer:

• Analog video source such as an analog camera or video cassette recorder (VCR) connected to an analog capture card
• Web camera
• Digital video source such as a DV camera or VCR connected to an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 port (DV capture card or built-in port)
