| 213502 | 2004-02-07 21:56:00 | I have exhasted the search on PressF1 but can't get exactly the answer I'm after ... hopefully someone can help, because I'm really new to all this stuff. I have an Nvidia FX5900 video card (256MB) that supports vivo via both video-s and c. I want to take some VHS material and move it to the PC for editing etc and eventual burning onto CD/DVD. Is it sufficient enough to simply plug the video machine into the video card and go for it, or do I really need a special capture card. Currently I get sound fine but no picture. My editing software (Vegas Video) can't seem to capture any picture and in fact insists that there is no capture device attached. If I need a special capture card then what would I ever use the vivo ports on the video card for? Surely the video card has an analogue to digital converter on it! After you've all stopped laughing could someone please tell me where I've got my understanding confused. |
