I'm new to this world and I need some advice. I need to capture still video pictures from a still video camera. The board that came with it (ComputerEyes/RT video digitizer) doesn't capture the same quality image that I get viewing it on a TV monitor. Q. Is the quality issue with the board? Can a different board give me better results? Or is this an issue of tranforming formats? If its a board issue, I would like some recommendations as to a board that can capture images accurately with a minimum of tweaking. I would like to keep the price under $1000, (I really don't know whats available). I thought originally that the image quality was that of the camera, but it produces great tv images and I tried a viedocam and it didn't capture any better. the camera (Canan RC360) produces 400 line video frames. There is a more expensive model that does 450, but I can't afford that. Q. Are there other color still video cameras out there that I should know about? Where is a good source to find out? I have a little time where I could send back what I have to get something better. Any help would be most appreciated! Ben
