Hello! Just as one would need a scanner to digitize images, a Video Capture Card is used to digitize video. Video Capture cards start at around $200. For output to video tape, the best low cost solution is to get a video capture card that also prints to tape. These cards start at around $600. In both categories, two manufactures come imediately to mind: Miro Computer Products and Orchid Technologies. The Miro DC1 seems to be an excelent choice for video caputure and output to tape. For more information about video capture and digitital video in general, two magazines come to mind: Digital Video (DV) and New Media. Both should be available at better newstands and computer stores. The above statements are not official endoresements of any product, manufacturer, or publisher. Simply put, this is what works for us; your mileage may vary. Best of luck, Ed Lecuyer Manager, PhotoMorph Technical Support
