Dear Siem,

You should not be looking for a "capture card" for your camera. You need a
IEEE1394 card and software. Try www.radius.com for example. Look at the EditDV
product. This includes the 1394 card and editing software. There are others
available. With your camera you should consider analog video capture cards to be
ancient history. However 1394 is new and still has lots of bugs. The Radius
website doesn't state that they support your JVC cameras 1394 port  yet.
although they may in fact. Also, JVC (and Sony) calls their 1394 port "I-Link".
This is not to be confused with the serial port that JVC also supports. 1394 is
now a usually 200 megabit/second digital interface. The serial port might be
good for 28 kilobits/second.
