fellow at'ers,
i'm interested in trying to capture my home videos (shot on those small 8mm cassettes which so many camcorders use). i don't need to do a lot of fancy stuff (in fact i don't want to, i've got enough stuff to do already!), i just want to capture the movies from the camera and put them on cd so i can play them in my dvd player rather than having to use the camcorder for playback (unreliable since this will die some day).
anyone have any good recommendations for a relatively inexpensive but decent hardware/software combination to do this? i've ordered the msi ti4600 vtd card which supports these features, but i'd like to go for a solution that isn't dependant on my video card - when i upgrade the card i don't want to loose my dv capture capabilities! i've been reading up on the dazzle products several sound quite good - the video creator 80 and the video creator 100 sound like just the ticket - anyone have any good/bad experiences with these?
one more item - my camcorder isn't digital so it doesn't have firewire out - just plain old composit video. and ideally i'd like to capture AT LEAST 640x480 resolution - preferably more, i think the camcorder captures at a higher resolution than that.
thanks in advance,
joe <B>
