Need suggestions on a NICE video capture card.

[JackBurton]

I'm looking for a VERY nice video capture card, pretty much a pro level card. I'm looking to capture video from an analog source. Anyone here have experience with some pro level cards?

NewTek Toaster card, also has hardware built in to realtime video editing.

Though it is about $2500

Check out dvdrhelp.com. They have comparisons of capture cards. Look for one that does MPEG-2 compression on the fly. If not, you have to capture to AVI, then compress/convert to MPG. That process takes forever and you generally lose quality.

All in wonder 8500 DV

Matrox RT.X series?

Great! Thanks guys. I'm willing to spend some good money for the output to come out nice.
