I have been using the "Pinnacle DC 10 Plus"
analogue capture card for a while now and getting very good results for doing
just what you want. IE, converting old VHS footage to VCD and SVCD. I have just
upgrade the software to Pinnacle Studio 8 and the results are more than I could
have hoped for.
Much faster rendering and being able to
burn CD's (VCD and SVCD's) within the same software is
heaven! I used to have to make an AVI file in DC10 then go into
some other software to convert it to mpeg1 or mpeg 2 and finally to my burner
software to make a disk. Pinnacle 8 does it all and faster!
All discs I have burned so far work on all DVD's
tried so far.
Now I can see I need/want a DVD
burner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS, I have a buddy who has a unused DC 10 Plus kit
that he want to sell at a very good price.
Email me direct for more details.
Cheers Bob Jenneson. Fournier.

Mini DV cameras
Almost same topic. I have video tapes that I want to push to
CD, sort of like VCDs (like in Asia) so they can be played on most VDVs as
full screen on the TV. Can these cards/sw do that as well? So this would be
analog video input, it would need A-D conversion on the fly at full screen
resolution, store to disk & write to CD (VCD)...........

HI Jason, I would agree with the other comments re cameras, and would also
highly recommend ULEAD DVD Workshop, similar in function to Pinnacle studio
8.
The advantage of Studio8 & ULEAD is their ability to actually burn the
finished edited video direct to CD/DVD no seperate burning software is
required.
A camera with Composite Video In is a plus as you can use it as an analog to
Digital converter for older footage and to record TV programs to hard disk
without an analog capture card and in DV format requiring much less
rendering time
when edited.

All
Sorry for the off-topic post, but since many of you glider pilots are also
the sort of people who'd go for the latest and greatest technology (except
perhaps the ES57 owners - LOL !), I was wondering if anyone has recently
purchased a Mini DV camera, and if so, what features / price advantage led
you to choose that particular model.
Also, any thoughts on PC-based editing tools if you have them.
Please reply directly to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])
, rather than clogging the list.
Regards
Jason Armistead
