Sorry to bother you, but hope someone can help.

We have a renovation company in Barrie, Ontario Canada. We are updating our website and would like to incorporate some video clips of home renovations we have done. Also we need to capture some still images from videos we have taken and put them on our site (We realize the quality won't be that great, but they are "before" renovation pictures). We need to buy a video capture program that will enable us to do these things. As you can see we don't require or wish for an expensive program, just something that will do the best job for our needs. Our computer technician has recommended ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro but this video card seems to focus on mainly TV watching and recording, 3D modeling program, 3D games with video capture and editing as being the small part of the package. It does cature 720 X 480 as recommended but it has a lot of bells and whistles that we will never use and software that are are a total waste of money to us. The video editing program is not very friendly - ULEAD Video Studio. We definitely need a better bundle of software focused on our needs.

We simply want a video capture program or card that will allow us to capture from an analog camcorder, edit video and capture stills.

Thank you for your time and we really appreciate any recommendations you can make!

Hmmm... I think the problem is that you want to capture from an analog camcorder. That requires a good card like the ATI AIW with analog input. For a digital camcorder I would've suggested Pinnacle Studio DV 7, but forget about analog here since there's is only a firewire input. I would definitely go with the All-in-wonder products from ATI.
