| 601282 | 2007-10-14 08:38:00 | Is there a way of recording component video on a pc? Without costing an arm & a leg preferably | Phil B (648) | ||
| 601283 | 2007-10-14 09:40:00 | Virtual Dub (www.pcworld.com) a popular free open source program allows you to capture video and to do a bit of modifying - cropping, compression, etc. Also a new update for the free Video DVD Maker (www.snapfiles.com)is worth a bit of consideration. Not sure if the program will actually save the video output though. It captures and then may directly convert/burn to CD/DVD. I used to use Sonic DVD to capture and convert directly to burn to DVD... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 601284 | 2007-10-14 09:48:00 | I think Phil was more focused on the hardware side of things... The ability to physically capture Component doesn't seem all that common. It could be hard to find a capture device that can do this. Having said this, I have not looked to closely into this.... I'm sure there will be someone else who can give you further help. /me goes looking to see what IS available [EDIT: From a quick look around, no one seems to make a consumer capture device capable of capturing component video. It seems the best connection manufactures are offering is S-Video. Still, it may not be impossible] |

| 601285 | 2007-10-14 17:13:00 | Phil I used to use a Canopus product which worked great. I could connect either a VCR or an old Handycam to it. Canopus ADVC100. Component and/or S-Video in and DV out. "Connects to all widely used DV and analog video equipment" There were a couple of other companies that made similar items but this one got the best reviews so I got it. Just sold it a while back on Trademe and got a Sony Digital 8 camera (Higher End Model) that supported playing back analogue tapes and feeding them in via firewire. I got this purely for feeding in old tapes to the PC, I have since moved to DV and recently to AVCHD. Another option check Dick Smith or Harvey Norman as some older video capture only used to use component capture. |
