I'm a bit confused after reading through the archives on Video Capture boards. I've been to cdrinfo.com and other boards as well, but I really wanted to get my advice here. I want to record the home movies we have on our Sony Hi-8 camcorder. This unit has composite video and mono audio output.
I'd like to make the best quality encodings possible for later burning to VCD and DVD-R.
While I'm at it, I'll need some video editing software. Is Movie Maker in Windows XP good enough?
I'm running Windows XP Home (final) on a Dell 4100, NVidia GeForce 2, 512MB, 1GHz PIII, 100GB HD. I also have a couple IDE drives available to dedicate to video capture.
My choices seem to be....
Hauppauge WinTV
Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge
Pinnacle Studio AV 7
ATI AIW
NVidia Personal Cinema
Is there anything else out there for consumer-grade equipment?
