169526 2003-08-22 06:08:00 I would like to transfer digital video from my camcorder to hard-drive. I have a choice of using my Leadtek GeForce4 TI4600 graphics card, or IEE 1394 Firewire.
What provides the best video/sound quality or are they both the same? Which is faster?
Thanks in advance.

169527 2003-08-22 06:17:00 I am no expert but I would think Firewire is best because there is no translation of the data. I think if you went from the video out to the video in on the graphics card (assuming that is what you mean) I am pretty sure you will lose detail.

169528 2003-08-22 06:22:00 this is completly right, as the video card would capture with compositite or s-video, these are defentlky not as good quality as Dv. (Fire wire) ilikelinux (1418)
