Good analog capture card?
I tried & tried, but absolutely, positively CANNOT get my Pinnacle DC10+ video capture card to work. Pinnacle Studio 8 says it "can't initialize" the card, and driver updates don't work. I've read alot of negative things about this card on the web (of course, AFTER I bought it), so I've decided to just chalk it up as lesson learned.

Anyway, what I really wanted to find out from all the experts in this forum, is: what makes of analog video capture cards are dependable and actually do well what they are sold to do?

I'm trying to keep it under $200, if that's possible for a good card.

Thanks,

Brad

The cheapest way to do it is via a TV card. I did this for a friend about a year go. We installed an ATI TV card, hooked up a VCR to it.

She has a VHS-C camcorder to she just puts the cassette into the adapter, runs the tape and captures from the TV. If you have an 8mm, you could hook up the camcorder to the A/V inputs and run it through the VCR...and it's well under your $200 limit.

Spend your money on a good quality editing suite.
