Hi, I want to transfer 8mm tapes to my PC to eventually output to DVD.
My camcorder is an old Sony, only RCA outputs, no S-video. I don't have
a lot of money for this, so I bought the Pinnacle DVC-90. Well, it
doesn't work, keeps dropping to black and white. I do like the
software though I haven't had any experience with any other....anyhow,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a PCI card for under $100. I was
thinking of the Leadtek TV2000 XP...or is there a Hauppauge one in that
price range that will do the job? Or is the Wintv USB 2.0 worth
double what I paid for the Dazzle?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks, Bevin B.

Hauppauge's PCI cards start at ~$70. The PVR-150 is
a good basic capture card.



Avoid the Leadtek...I tried it and the software trashed XP.

WinTV USB 2 is worth five times what you paid for the Dazzle (which is old
technology with worthless drivers). The Hauppauge 150 or 250 with the
latest drivers is worth considering.



PS

USB 2 video at DVD rates requires a fast machine...Intel Pent 4 2.2 gHz or
better, IMO.
I have 3.08 Ghz with HT and 1 GB RAM so I hope that is fast enough....
