Does anyone know what that Hardware is called on Blade Trinity when she films him killing the human then puts the tape in this little box thing to get it onto her computer?

Any help?

YOU wont see the difference, but anyone with an hd tv will see it. vegas is pretty shitty so I doubt it can do hd, but premiere pro and final cut pro can both do hd after you get a plugin. and you should be able to to capture it just through firewire dependin on the camera.
