Video card advice
« on: March 27, 2007, 02:05:02 AM »
Hi everyone, I need some PC advice since I'm generally clueless about that end. I recently set up a YouTube account with the hope of putting up a few self produced video's. I just remembered, that in my closet, is an Amiga video tutorial I made in '95 on how to set up an A500 that was produced for my broadcasting school video class project. Its something I thought some of you would get a chuckle out of. Its on a VHS tape, and so, I'd like to transfer it in order to get it online.

So, what are my options? There's an extra desktop PC we have around the office here thats not being used for much, and would work if I got a video capture card to put in it. Any recomendations on any basic cards? I'm planning to get a laptop in the near future, can that be used to take video off a VHS machine? Thanks for any advice.

I don't know dylan, the reviews were not too good on the newegg site.  :-D You should post a review if the card works fine for you.

OEM, hmmm. Lets check. At least they seem somewhat inexpensive.

Thanks everyone. Its nice to have some guidelines to work with so I can save some of the tapes at the office too. I'll keep you updated if I get this A500 tutorial online.
