Hello, I have a P4 1.8g laptop with 6 pin firewire and usb2. Is there an external box someone can recommend?
The Canopus ADVC series of boxes are favorites of may
of us. But then you didn't mention any budget?
I want to dub my old VCR tapes to pc and then burn a DVD. (Yes, I have the burner onboard already). I have taped old TV episodes from years ago. Are there going to be macrovision problems?
If YOU recorded the tapes, then it is highly unlikely that
Macrovision was involved. If they are commercially
recorded tapes which you bought with the content already
on them, that is a different matter.
I have to find a VCR that doesn't encode on the playback?
You are unlikely to find one. More likely you could use a
device which will ignore the Macrovision encoding. Many
(all?) of the Canopus boxes will do this, etc.
I also have a desktop pc with a high end sound card which
has a BNC connector for digital sync. Is this necessary or would it be more reliable?
That connector likely has nothing to do with video. But since
you did not identify the make/model, we can only speculate.
Furthermore, you do NOT want to capture the audio independently of the video. Unless the audio ADC and video ADC are coordinated, they will drift and your audio won't sync with the video. Use a box (like the Canopus or most others) which convert both audio and video in the same unit.
