114437 2003-01-16 11:46:00 I've been looking around at different capture systems, and it seems that there is the bottom end of the spectrum with PC cards for around $100 - 200, then there is the high-end stuff around $800 - 1200, but not much in between.
I'd like something that uses hardware for digitising of the video (as opposed to a software based encoder), needs to have composite and component inputs, DV would be nice but not essential. As for sound - I guess if it was half way decent it would have sound inputs on it - or does it go via the soundcard?
This is all very new to me so I'd really appreciate some help from someone who is experienced in PC video work and has worked with some of the better video editing solutions.

Thanks.
