That is within your said price range. This place has it cheap http://www.shopharmony.com/secure/products asp?ItemID=3DDM-7000 I have used USB capture devices before. I have found the bandwidth that U SB provides far to small for any serious video editing. However, if you are just going to be doing minor things, like transfering stuff from VHS tape s, to CD-R or crap like that, then it is more than enough. Dzzle also has a nice USB solution here http://www.dazzle.com/products/vidcr.html (You ca n get it much cheaper than the price they list on the website). Or, if you need something cheaper, go for MPEGator http://store.yahoo com/ourstore-2000/mpegrealtimm.html. -Simeon -------Original Message------- > From: tenchi@ml.usagi.org Date: Monday, January 28, 2002 3:21:44 PM To: tenchi@ml.usagi.org Subject: Re: OT:Video/Capture Card or Video & Capture Card Price Range is around $200-250.\ Hmmn, I started this with the idea of upgrading my video card so that I could play Aliens Vs Predator 2 better. Then I thought if I was going to upgrade I should get a capture card. Now maybe I should upgrade the MB & CPU, But I do that I will have to put off the capture card. On a seperate note, I do not have Firewire or any video equipment that uses it. I do have USB, but consider it too slow for video. If anybody has experience with video editing using USB, how well does it work?
