I'm currently in the process of trying to find a relatively cheap but good
quality video (analog) capture card. At first it looked like I could choose
between several options for around $100. Then I read reviews of the products
and I'm not so sure. The problem with the reveiws is they were from one
online retailer and there is no real validity to the "reviews" since anyone
can post. That's why I'm here.
The one I have seen the most on is "Pinnacle Studio AV/DV Version 9" and
that's one I was leaning towards. I also looked at a Ulead product. Under
$150 I see Adaptec has a capture card. I'm not opposed to going that high
but that would be the absolute limit given our budget. If the quality is
worth it, we would certainly do it. Suggestions?
My need is simple; at least I think it's simple:
1) Need a way to port Analog video (8mm) to the computer (w/sound of course)
and retain the integrity of the original as much as possible.
I have a DVD burner on the machine already with Sonic MyDVD as the burners
software.
