Analog Video Capture
Hi All,
I want to capture some video footage for a computer science project, regarding image processing. I want to track the movement of a fast moving ball, using the computer. First I have recorded this action using an analog camcorder, and I want to transfer this onto a pc. I have just read a review for the new Hercules 3D Prophet All-In-Wonder 9000 Pro card (ATI chip). It comes with the ability to capture analog video. Do you guys think it will do a good enough job (considering I can not afford to drop any frames on capture of the motion that is about 1 sec long). Or should I get a card such as offered by Pinnacle or Hauupage? And what about frame grabber cards? Adam |

I have an AIW 9000 Pro. This is a computer video card. Capture card. TV
card. All in one ... that's what the AIW stands for. If your computer already has a satisfactory video card, and you just need to be able to capture, then you can get some very inexpensive capture hardware. If you like to NOT have to open up the PC, try an external USB capture device. For internal installation, try Pinnacle ... the old DC10+ is a good choice. You can get these on Ebay for under $40.

PCI video converter kit" with the downloaded Snazzi* Movie Mill capture program. I use TMPEGnc DVD Author for the MPEG2 files I have captured. The latest version includes a burning plugin ( but I havn't tried it yet - I just use Nero) Works quite a lot better than MyDVD4, IMHO. There are two great results from using this approach, 1. No audio sync issues, the PCI card encodes both audio and video at the same time. 2. There is no need for rendering prior to authoring a DVD or SVCD. Luck; Ken |
