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.

Not true here. I have 11 USB 2 devices on a Dell Optiplex 2.6 gHz P4. My
ADS Instant DVD USB 2 works perfectly at 9 mbs with no dropped frames nor
audio synch issues.


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.

Yes, and if your USB is heavily populated with other devices,
steer clear of USB capture cards altogether (unless of course
you like skipped frames and out of sync audio).
