Not understanding why you need a pvr card to tell the truth.
I don't neccesarily. If I were to use the PC with my old camera, a PVR card would be cheap and easy solution. The digital converter you mention below is a better solution.
I'm going to assume that you're going to be going DV quality,
A little background.... when I left video projects years ago and sold my non-Amiga equipment, my best cameras were SVHS. I've not bought a modern camera since. What I at the moment is a non-digital, non-usb/fireware Hi8 camera. Last week I was hit with a bit of inspiration and thought.... "what do I have? My toaster/flyer setup and a decent analog camera. Should be doable."
If you need to go from composite, you might need to get and analog to digital converter - these are getting cheaper all the time - I've seen some as low as 50 bucks.
A converter and Avid might be a possibility then.
If you don't need to output it directly to a tape -
No tape necessary. Any one actually still using that? :-)
Unless the object is to actually edit it on the Amiga for the retro-coolness factor - in which case go that route.
Yeah, that was part of it. A reason to break out the old stuff and make it useful again while saving the expense of any additional hardware. If a $50 converter, my laptop and some free software can do the same thing though....
I'm a professional video editor - and if you need any advice on the subject, feel free to send me a PM
Thanks, very kind of you. I think my biggest learning curve is going to be syncing he video/audio. The camera will be vid only. The corresponding sound will be digitally recorded mixed and synced with the video. Since the first venue will be things like youtube, the vid quality doesn't have to be stellar, but I want it to sound as good as possible.
