No, you don't need a capture card. Here's what to do when capturing HDV from that camera into iMovie:
1. Open the flip-out LCD on your camera.
2. Look at the buttons and switches.
3. At the top left corner, there's a "PLAY MODE" switch between "Video" and "Memory." Make sure that's set to "Video."
4. At the bottom left corner, there's an "i.LINK OUT" switch between "DV" and "MPEG2." Make sure that's set to "MPEG2."
5. Connect all your wires appropriately. The camera should be plugged into wall power. Make sure the FireWire cable is connected between the camera and your Mac.
6. Turn the camera on.
7. Hit "Play" on the camera. Be certain that HDV material is playing.
8. At this point, start up iMovie. This is very important. Have HDV material playing before you start up iMovie.
9. Make a new project, set for 720p30 HDV.
10. Now you can stop the camera playing if it hasn't stopped itself, and at this point you should have deck control from iMovie so you can hit rewind there and start your capture.
Don't know if you are using a Mac but it might apply. I'm grasping at straws I know
