video editing card

[DSH]

I recently purchased a 1ghz thunderbird with i plan to overclock to 1.15 and an asus a7v133 motherboard. I am looking for a video editing card to go with my sony digital8 camcorder. Any suggestions (i havent picked my primary video card yet)

check out the search funktion and look for the

ATI all in wonder whatever... (depending on your needs if you aren't a gamer the 128 pro 32 for example...)

Or

the Hauppauge for a better quality...(need another video card...)

those are all with a TV tuner on which i think is nice...

But try to get me on icq i could tell you a little more,,, i know it is hard to get into video editing... I am not into it, but know some ppl on icq that are..

capture and editing and a tv tuner are cool... maybe...

Don't bother with a video capture board. You have a digital camcorder so you must have the ilink connector. Buy a firewire card and use that to transfer the video digitally. Then use a good video editing software to do what you want to do.

For what it's worth, I have the SIIG 1394 card. It came with Ulead Video Studio LE, under $100 now a days.

The main thing is software. The Ulead stuff works for me and my DV camera. If anyone can recommend something better, my ears are open.

Side question - what codec is best for recording, I used to make everyting in MPEG1, but I am starting to mess with Divx now. Any recs on that?

I have the Ulead and haven't used it much (came with my Evergreen Firewire/USB combo card), but when I installed a Maxtor 40GB Firewire drive, the Maxtor came with a DV editor software that I found better than the Ulead for the little time I tried it out. I have since returned the Maxtor external HD so I can't be for sure what it was, but I think it was called Edit DV by Digital Origins...
