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.


The www.snazzi.com Snazzi* III DVD Creator is supposed to be
using the same reference design as my AVC 2000. I use a version
of MovieMill with my card and can even use the Bali drivers from the
Snazzi* III, so they should be functionally the same. The chipset used
in both are a Broadcom BCM7040 (Kfir-II) MPEG encoder fed by
the output of a Philips SAA7114H. The Kfir-II is the same chip that
TiVo uses in their Series 2 units. MovieMill has a Custom setting so
you have great access to the property pages and can easily optimize
the capture.

I recently bought one of their Snazzi* V DVD Pro cards for its
Component inputs, and it does OK, but I still prefer and use the Kfir-II
based card. ( The V DVD Pro uses a Conexant chipset.)

They are asking $99 at their online store for the Snazzi* III DVD
Creator.

Luck;
Ken
