Using the DV controls
You can use the digital video controls in Windows Movie Maker to control your DV camera or DV VCR from your computer. These controls are like the controls on your VCR or camera. These controls are available when your DV device is connected to an IEEE 1394 port, and it is set to the playback position (often labeled VCR or VTR on a DV camera).
These controls are available only when a DV device is connected to an IEEE 1394 port and detected by Windows Movie Maker.
