I recently bought a new system which is a dual core 3 gHz proc., asus mobo
with onboard graphics, audio, etc. 1g ram. I'm running XP pro sp2.
I was using a PII 700, mHz, 256 ram, 16 m video card with windows 98. For
capture I was using a DC30+ (capturing 2g chunks with avi_io and editing
with premiere 6.5). It was a nice setup for analog capture (which is still
what I'll be doing) but rendering to mpg for DVD has been painfully slow.
It was nice in the days when I could just play the production from the
timeline and record onto 5 vcr's simultaneously :-)
Anyway, in looking at options for video capture for my new system, prices
range from as low as $19.95, on up to the thousands.
I plan on adding a video card (PCI-e) and I was wondering if I should get
an ATI AIW card that has everything that I want, or a USB device, or a
geforce card and a separate capture device, an nVidia card plus a capture
device, etc., etc. I would also like to have a TV tuner (but that's not
extremely important).
I want to be able to capture good quality s-video and composite and create
DVD's. I have Premiere 6.5 and Pro for editing, and ulead Movie Factory and
DVD Workshop for authoring so bundled software is not an issue.
The ability to capture digital via firewire would be nice too should I
decide to get a digital video camera.
I don't do any gaming so there is no need gear up toward that at all.
Any advice would be helpful
