You can achieve single frame capture using Adobe Premiere. I have an XL-1, DV300 capture card and Premiere 5.1c.

There are a few programs that can do this. Only catch is,they do it through and analog signal, which means you need to get an ATI all in wonder card or somthing similar. I made a lot of claymations using a program called anazazi stop motion animator. It lets you do onion skinning, and a bunch of other stuff. then exports it as an AVI. They had a website but it is gone, so I put the file on my site. here is a link to it; http://members-dev.tripod.com/karl151k/KarlsKlaymation/SMA_Full.exe There is another program that does the same stuff but it costs $200. They have a demo for free and a trial version for $50. Their site is www.stopmotionpro.com. If you have to have that firewire connection there is a firewire webcam out there, here is a link to it; http://www.cwol.com/firewire-cameras/pyro-webcam.htm
If you want to see some of my claymations I made using Anazi, goto http://clik.to/animation

Studio DV allows you to capture images directly from the cam, while the cam is on record pauze.
You can either save the images directly or add them to your movie.
You can adjust the durations of your picutre on the timeline ie 1 frame to 10 seconds.
The card including studio software is very cheap less $100
