TV Tuner Card that accepts video inputs?

Such as this one:

There are plenty of cards out there, this being one of the lower ends out there. I have this one, and it does exactly what I need it to. Can hook up any external video source, and run it through your computer. From there, convert to any format, edit, etc.

Did this help?

No firewire OR usb? Probably cant then, unless it can unload them onto the SD card.

a video converter.. that takes the analog (yellow, red, white) and digitizes them. you can get a usb converter box.. should be like 50 bucks.

Open CD tray
Take large pry tool and remove tray and trim ring
Place camera in front of the hole you just made and strike the camera with a large hammer. Do this very forcefully
The camera should now be in the PC
Double click "My Computer" and look for a camera icon
Double click that icon
Pics are there

yes, I forgot to mention I do have a Dazzle Digital Video Creator 120. all i have is the unit. I don't have the pinnacle software that it came with. Will this work? Also, do I have to use the pinnacle studio 8 software or what?

Any video editing software should work. I used to do this with an old 8mm camcorder.

ok, cool but one problem. last time i tried to use that dazzle 120 thing, when looking for the drivers on the pinnacle website, i could only get the drivers from the pinnacle 8 or 9 software. i had to buy their software to use the damn thing, any way around that?
