RE: [PCTECH] Video capture recommendations

You can probably pay just about anything and get all kinds of quality,
features, ease-of-use, and support.  I've found good hardware prices at
newegg.com.  The video card link is
http://www.newegg.com/app/manufact.asp?catalog=48&DEPA=0  The two
manufactures that I would look at are ATI and NVIDIA.  I've personally had
good luck with ATI over the years.

Thanks Peter.  It looks pretty good.

That does raise a question about cost however.  I haven't priced lately but
what would a good (not necessarily top of the line) video capture card
cost?  Seems like they start around $200 and go up from there.

Rick,

I've used ShowBizDVD2 from Arcsoft for converting from Video8 to DVD,
AVI/MPG to DVD, and also capture live TV shows using my Hauppauge tuner
card.

The results vary depending on the quality of the source feed, but are
quite impressive.  And the price is reasonable.

Check out http://www.arcsoft.com/en/products/showbiz/

I am not a vendor, but a happy user.

HTH
