    Model #: MA205LL. It has a firewire port, thus, it's video-capture ready?

    All Macs since like the debut of iMovie ship video capture ready -- via a FireWire device (a video camera, an analog to digital converter [ie Canopus]).

    So the answer is yes.

    If you want to capture MPEG2 video (like from an ADS USB Instant DVD), you should have a hard drive with at least 7200 rpm or you will drop frames from time to time.

    I will be capturing from a D8 camcorder.

    7200 rpm? This one, and the 206 model, has 5400. And if this is for MPEG-2 capping only, it isn't a concern for me, but good to know.

    The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
