Can Quicktime Player 7.2.1 capture camera signal to make a new video?

I am about to buy an old used (cheap) Macbook -- because it has a Firewire 400 port. This way I can connect directly to my 25-year-old Sony Digital-8 camera without having to daisy-chain several expensive adapters to my current Mac. I have several years' worth of Digital-8 tapes I need to digitize. The Macbook has Quicktime Player 7.2.1 on the machine.

My question: Not knowing the interface or features of that old QT Player... Will I be able to capture video by something like File > New Movie Recording? (I have no idea which version of QT Player the image below is from).

Thanks in Advance
