| 714671 | 2008-10-25 07:15:00 | What kind of graphics card have you got. Dose it have a video in video out sockets (vivo). I have the Sony HX 950 DVD/HD recorder. Not to sure whether you can record that way. :) |

| 714672 | 2008-10-25 07:27:00 | Another question, is it better quality running it in through composite leads, than put the video onto dvd then into my pc? and how much would a decent Usb/firewire (preferably) capable of HDMI and composite input set you back these days? Thanks |

| 714673 | 2008-10-25 07:35:00 | Another question, do you find that composite quality is better than that of writing the video to dvd? How much would a Usb/firewire (preferably) capture card cost capable of HDMI and composite (and audio) in? Thanks |

| 714674 | 2008-10-25 07:41:00 | It'll probably be better, if you got a system, with HDMI, firewire, and USB onboard. Only thing is, you would have to get the CPU and the ram for it as well |

| 714675 | 2008-10-25 07:43:00 | Oops, thought I hadn't clicked 'post', so accidentally wrote a double lol. I don't know if Picasa will work, it doesn't seem very advanced in capabilites that would exceed what explorer could do - but I may be proven wrong! My graphics card isn't Vivo, bummer. Thanks |

| 714676 | 2008-10-25 07:44:00 | Speedy: problem is we just upgraded our entire computer, we're not tooo keen on buying a new set ;) thanks |

| 714677 | 2008-10-25 08:18:00 | You could get one of these (www.modster-pc.co.nz) For everything else but HDMI Only thing is the firewire would have to be onboard (the FW on this plugs into the back connection) Composite is ok for recording from a video input, but you would still need a program to record the incoming video/sound. And to burn it to DVD (it would have to support burning to DVD). I wouldnt use USB tho for transferring video/audio. It'll be too slow, and will probably be out of sync. Firewire is better for video/audio transfer, if whatever has firewire on it Where in NZ are you? |

| 714678 | 2008-10-25 19:35:00 | Great, I'll look into buying one of those! My firewire ports are 2 on the back and one on the front, does this mean it has an onboard chip? We have programs for recording the video and audio thanks :) Yep, dvd burner. It's a shame that sunbeam panel isn't an external device, I would prefer one that could go into the Firewire port. Thanks. Oh, and I'm in Welly. |

| 714679 | 2008-10-25 20:17:00 | A TV Tuner card might be better. Just connect via the audio/video sockets. I wouldn't try using firewire with the Sony as there is no mention in the manual about doing this kind of thing. You could do some damage to the Sony. :) |
