USB faster than SCSI?

[Str33tR4C3R]

I plan on taking videos from my vcr and my video camera and using Creative Labs Video Blaster MovieMaker to convert tapes to files. I believe this thing uses a USB interface. Creative Labs Video Blaster MovieMakerMy system is going to be for ripping dvds/vhs tapes and online gaming w/ duel processors and loads of ram.

Is SCSI only for hardware like DVD, CDRom(/RW), and Hard drives?

If that's true, then the best setup would be having a SCSI Hard drive (real fast rpm and lots of storage) and this Creative Labs Video Blaster MovieMaker. Right?

I could be wrong but right now 1394 aka Firewire is the fastest way to get Audio or Video in your system

<<Video Capture Formats MPEG-1: 352x240 resolution with 0.5-2.0Mb/second bit rate MPEG-2: 352x480 resolution with 1Mb-6.0Mb/second bit rate>>

Specs. from creative, guess thats what you get with USB

Depends on device specs overall SCSI smokes USB...my SCSI CF reader clocks in at 4MB/s...the USB ones max out at 1.2MB/s, after my 128MB CF card has taken 32 secs to download, the USB reader still has 75 more secs to go!



Now if Windows only supported Tagged Command Queueing and other true Multi-tasking O/S tidbits.

Well if I don't go with Creative, how else would I be able to get video from my camera and vcr into my pc? It's easy if u have a DVD cuz you pop in the disk and use a program.

I want to know what I need to do it all. I want to record tv, vhs, and dvd.

Do I do this through a video card?

yes, i think you need to purchase a special kind of card (content creation cards, or something like that i think they are called), which uses several inputs (composite, firewire, etc)
