I am very satisfied with my Canopus ADVC100. It is not exactly a "card", it is an external converter.

Any firewire board will do, as long as it's OHCI-compliant.

Many people recommend the ADS Pyro 1394 board.

My vote goes for the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 -- for $78 (shipped to your door for free) you get an OHCI-compliant 1394 port, and you also happen to get one of the most advanced 5.1 and 6.1 sound cards available!

What is the trick to getting it to work. I installed Vegas over the weekend and can not capture from my Panasonic DV deck through the Audigy?

Buy the most inexpensive firewire card you can find on pricewatch.com, I've probably purchased 8-10 different ones and never had a problem. Also, I was in the refurb section at Belkin.com a day or two ago, and they had refurbed firewire cards-same warranty as new-$4.99
