Wooo hooo

I got here first.

And err whats this video capture that you speak of? Sounds like devil's work and magic to me.

What features should I be looking for in a capture card for my pc, are there any minimum specs to look out for?

In the olden days (say, the year 2000) getting a decent capture card wasn't easy. These days it isn't so hard. Even the most modest of PC is capable of fairly decent video capture. I bought a Studio DC10+ capture card and it worked fine in my AMD 400MHz.

I have read reports that even some 30 TV cards can capture reasonable video. It all depends on what you want to capture, how much you've got to spend and what spec your PC is.

The DC10+ cost me 120 British pounds a few years ago.

I use a G400TV capture card. Very reliable. Maybe a little expensive but. I have had it for nearly 3 years though.

If you just wanna do basic movie editing than get a pinnacle card they go for about 99 dollars and are diesent considering its for basic editing usage :o
