Importing Video Hardware

Karama · Sep 30, 2005

Okay, would love some feedback. Right now I have a ASUS 9600 XT with VIVO. I have been using the card to import video throught my VHS player but lately I have been having lots of trouble and the quality of the video has always been so so. I would like to buy some new hardware for importing video and was wondering what everybody thought. I tried out this $100 TurtleBeach USB import video device and was not impressed so I sent it back. Not really worried about the software bundle. I use Nero and Pinnacle. Any suggestions would be great.

You can use a TV capture card to import video as well as watch or record tv on your computer. Most of the USB tv capture devices are complete crap so it would be best to avoid them. You will get much better quality with a PCI capture card.

Here is a review of the PCI "MSI ATI Theatre 550 Pro," which is about $75 and, according to this article, performs really well:
