Also My dvd "burner" came with 2 differant low-end capturing/editing programs, powerdvd for playing dvd's as well as nero for burning to dvd/cd . And that was a $299 burner from Dick Smiths early this year . If the video camera has support for linking to computer then chances are (if it's brand new & unopened from the shop) there will be some sort of capturing software although limited in creative capability . If the camera has usb2 you will need usb2 ports on your computer either onboard or add-in pci card . USB1 just won't cut it as you'll drop too many frames (usb1 bandwith too narrow) . With firewire again you'll need onboard ports or get an add-in firewire card (which is what I did) . One advantage is firewire aware software can control the playback of your camera (ie rewind, play,stop etc) when you capture via firewire so cue'ing the playback and record isn't an issue . Personally I have found taking analog video into the camera via a/v and then camera>pc via firewire gives me good quality and better file sizes than using the a/v in on my tv card . |
