Aerotop Dave Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 While browsing for a DVD burner my eye caught these video capture card doobries. Do I want one? What can they be used for? Something like this: http://www.dabs.com/uk/channels/hardware/multimediaandspeakers/productView.htm?quicklinx=DHM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Analogue capture cards are pants. Not good for anything more than grabbing short, low-res (VCR quality) images for messing about IMHO. I struggled to get one to work for months. If you want to get into video editing, buy yourself a DV bridge like the ADCV-50 from Canopus. It will cost you £150 but it is the best way to get high quality video from your tv into your PC. What a DV bridge won't do, however, is actually give you TV channels on your PC. The one on DABs will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazUK Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Could always get yourself a PVR card and then your PC would be like TiVo or Sky+. Pause/Rewind live TV, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
