[Gllug] Video capture cards

[robin.c.smith at bt.com]

Another way to capture is to do it via firewire, i-Link or whatever else it
is called.
Some digital video cameras allow you to feed in an analogue signal into them
and then you can feed that signal out in digital format. You could use
dvgrab and kino to get the data this way.

I have never used any capture cards so I can't comment on them.

Subject: [Gllug] Video capture cards


Hi all,

I'm trying to find out about video capture cards, mainly for copying my old 
VHS collection on to DVD. Googling around provides loads of baffling 
information so...

I'm running SuSE8.1 on a P4, with a GeForce4 MX 420.

Does anyone have recommendations as to capture card?
Does it need to be compatible with the GeForce?
Are there any accessible web resources that anyone knows of?

Cheers all

Dylan
