I am looking for a Video Capture board / software that runs under Windows NT roughly equivalent to Creative Labs Video Blaster RT300. Any one know of any? Also, is there a good source that explains how to integrate audio into Mpeg-1 files (sychronized)? Software? Thanks.

David: Happy holidays. I can't help, but would be very interested in knowing how your progress. We're considering the migration to Windows NT ourselves, and the Miro board we're looking at generates MPEG-1 files, so we too want to know more about synchronizing audio with it, whether 16-bit or 32-bit Windows. Good luck, and if I hear anything, I'll pass it along.

Hi Sid, Which Miro board you have ? I wasn't aware they had a Mpeg board already. Sure it's no M-Jpeg ?

I have since found out: 1. It is best to capture video to M-JPEG so that one can edit each frame. 2. The board(s) I am now looking at come from Video Logic but I have not yet done any serious research yet. 3. A program called Xing It or something will convert M-JPEG to MPEG. I will update the group when I get time to research this more next month. Thanks for all your replies!!!

David, I am not aware of any boards that have NT drivers as of yet, however, that does not mean that they do not exist. I take it you have ISA expansion bus connectors in the NT box that you are using? Another option you may have is to network a clone running Windows to the NT box and stick your capture card in there. Welcome to the forum, David! -John
