#Hi-8 capture
Hallo everybody,
I need some advice on a video capture board that will capture still frames from
Hi-8 PAL format camcorder video tape. I have had a Videoblaster FS 200, but the
quality of the captures were highly disappointing.
I would like the highest quality resolution at preferably 800 x 600 capture. (
the files will be used for professional distribution. ) My budget is limited (
read : under $1000 ) but I also realize that Garbage in = Garbage out. Later on
( when I have more money ) I would also like for the board to capture video
sequences from the Hi-8 tape, although it is not that important at this stage.
( I guess at that time the technology would have come up with something good at
lower prices 😉
Now if I can find a board that will do both at the same time, I will be really
happy 🙂
Does anybody have experience of the Winvision Pro capture board ? According to
their ad in the Computer Shopper, their captures rival scans from high end
scanners (for about $400). What board are you all using that you can recommend
?
Regards,
Francois
