Re: IEEE card vs IEEE video capture

I have 3 grandkids and have made dozens of dvd movies. I use a
firewire capture using the normal card in the computer and Studio 9
Plus and all prior versions. I capture, do a edit with menus,
transition, etc. Then burn right from the program. It really pays to
read the manual to save a lot of aggrivation. Trial and error will
make you very good in the end. Just make sure you have a big and fast
hard drive (7200rpm and not 5400), In fact Studio will test your hard
drive and let you know if it is fast enough. Even better is to
install a 2nd hard drive (a 200 gig is cheap on sale) to do the
editing and capture on. Patience will reap a ton of rewards. Try a
simple movie and work your way up and when you play the final dvd on
the tv you will understand why you do it. When your grandchildren
have kids they will be able to visual follow family history. Also
make note that most editing goes quite quickly, but the rendering of a
full dvd with heavy editing can take many hours even with a very fast
computer. The best way to do it is to stick a blank dvd in the burner
and then tell Studio to make the movie and go to bed.
