I am confused exactly because for this reason since I have a FW ADVC-100 which is obviously hw-based. I would be seriously surprised if it did not have a decoder (there are jumpers on the device for NTSC/PAL etc.), especially given its price point. Then again, what do I know...
That device encodes analog video to DV25. The frames need decoding before display which costs CPU cycles.
