Can someone recommend a cheap video capture board for my Gateway P5-100 running windows? I'd like to capture still video frames from Beta, 3/4 and VHS to use in Word for Windows storyboards. What about the Tiger Software advertised $99 CAPTIVATOR?

I can heartily recommend the Intel Smart Video Recorder Pro. I describe it and other such PC and Mac capture cards in my book "How to Digitize Video" published by John Wiley (actually I review the non-Pro model, but the Pro is just better).

Thanks. I'll get the book. Meanwhile, what's the street price of the Intel Pro?

Jon, I believe you should be able to find the ISVR Pro on the street for somewhere between $500 – $600. Nels Johnson
