The choices are numerous, and depend solely on how much you're willing to spend.

Basically, you need a firewire (IEEE-1394) card and editing software. Firewire cards intended for video work come bundled with necessary software. But not all bundles are created equal.

You can spend a little and get the bare essentials, or go for quality such as with Canopus or Pinnacle if you can spend more. I use the Canopus DVRaptor with Adobe Premiere.
