Please forgive me for putting identical messages on a number of newsgroups, all dealing with video editing. If there is one group that covers the whole field, rather than being specifically aimed at one brand of hardware, would somebody please tell me. I have no experience in digital video editing, although I am reasonably computer literate. I would like to find a device that will allow me to both: (1) Transfer digital video in NTSC format from my Windows XP laptop computer, which has an external SVGA port and a USB 1.1 port to a TV or VHS VCR. I want to use that to (A) view jpg files on a TV screen, and (B) supply titles to my VHS home recordings. (2) Transfer NTSC video to my laptop in order to make video CDs or DVDs from my VHS tapes. I spent an hour in Fry's yesterday looking for a device that would do both, but came up empty handed. Musawwir Spiegel What you need is VIVO (video in video out). Several companies now include the feature on high end cards or special vivo versions of their budget cards. These include ATI's All in Wonder series and NVidia's Personal Cinema (manufactured by different companies under different names). CompUSA usually sells the AIW's and the eVGA P.C.'s. Consider that normally unless you spend a lot of money, VIVO is usally a feature of the lower performance models. TV-out will work for slide shows on your TV (composite RCA or s-video connection) and do analog playback. Video input allow you to use it as a capture device also and do analog records (i.e. non DV). But for digital capture from a DV cam or similar device, you'll need a firewire card. |

U can also split functions : Vcard with TVout & separate card 4 inputs in case cost 4 1 is really high. This requires 2 PCI slots tho. Recently Pinnacle 4 TVin was $20 at CompUSA. HTH - Larry Any advise given is my attempt to show appreciation for all the excellent help I've received here but I'm no MVP so it may only apply NUGS (Normally, Usually, Generally, Sometimes :) |
