Need advice on what capture device to use for transferring from
camcorder to PC Just need somthing simple not looking to go crazy with
video making
Thank Jim

Buy the new Sigma video camera with the Foveon X75v sensor. It should
be their in the stores next month. Not only will this camera give you
better quality video than any 3 chip camera made but it also will
record in exremely low light better than any other camera. It will
come with a full editing software suite developed by Borden Software
and all the cables and hardware, and even a new Foveon video card for
your choice of PC/Mac/Linux.

Mr. Prediguez almost comes across as a shill for this Foveon
phenomenon. He seems to be pasting this propaganda into
random threads without apparent regard if they even fit.
I can't see that Mr. Prediguez' response has *anything* to do
with Jim's question. Surely buying a whole new camcorder
for a simple capture would qualify as "going crazy".

Richard-

There's a long and now tedious history to this, as you'll see with a bit
more reading. It's pretty much about trolls who have no imagination or
the wit to actually say anything engaging. As contrasted with the Troll
who is witty, urbane, and is able to upset a single NG by insinuating
himself into threads. The 'orginal' GP was able to do that for a while-
er, not that he was particularly urbane, and only sometimes witty.

By putting [OT] in the subject line I hope that those who want to filter
out the garbage will have done so, and a little light shed.

Hurry up and open up one of his replies, then hit "block sender" so you
don't even see his crap, it's quite easy to carry on oblivious then!

Ahhhhp. This is another George Preddiot alias. Yet another fanboi
personality goes into the killfile.

Stop polluting rec.decktop.video with your useless trolls

Jim Never did get an answer that I can see. Actually I am really
interested in his question because I have been thinking of doing that
also. I have a lot of tapes that I would like to see on my computer.
I hope we get some suggestions.

It depends on what kind of camera you have.

For miniDV and/or Digital8 cameras, all that is needed is a 1394/Firewire
card. Note: these cameras can NOT transfer full-quality video using USB.

If you're trying to capture analog video, you'll need an analog capture
card. However, an easy solution is to buy a miniDV camera -- almost all of
them have the ability digitze analog video and audio input, i.e. plug your
tape deck into the camera, connect the camera to the computer with the
1394/Firewire card, and capture away.

You'll need capture software. Most good editing packages have internal
capture capability. Adobe Premiere is the standard for PC-based prosumer
editing. Vegas is also a popular package. Pinnacle Studio works well for
some people (and is 1/6th the price of the other packages), but is,
evidently, quite finicky about the hardware on which it is run. Preddy's
"Borden Software" is a complete unknown -- I've never heard of it, and it's
certainly not discussed on any of the rec.video newsgroups, or the more
prominent video websites.
