1197260 2011-04-26 08:16:00 I have been looking at the Roxio VHS to DVD capture device. This is a USB device with RCA and S cable connections.

Is this a wise choice or should I be looking at a video/TV capture card? What would be the advantages, if any, of such a card over the Roxio?

1197261 2011-04-26 08:43:00 The TV tuner / capture card may come with a program to record the video/audio (it would have to have some kind of input (obviously) to record video and audio

Does the Roxio come with a program?

1197262 2011-04-26 09:05:00 Yes it comes with programs and seems very versatile. Apparently simple to use and apparently gets by any protection on tapes. Program also allows for the capture of sound from LP vinyl disks too so you can record to CDs. Bryan (147)
1197263 2011-04-26 09:38:00 Hmm ok either will do then.

Altho, depending on how good the Roxio is (like anything else USB) the video and audio may or may not end up out of sync. Whereas, a PCI tuner, would probably be reliable, and be in sync

1197264 2011-04-26 23:07:00 I couldn't get a similar device to work.As SG says,I had sound and video out of sync.
I use my Sony video camera to convert to digital through to firewire into pc.
