Yep, but tweaking some settings did miracles, atleast with the pinnacle card.
The capture software was simple and good, the problem started when I tried
to use Pinnacle studio 9 for the capture, so I stuck with the simple one
which came with pinnacle.
Hmm I will google on that name, but it all depends on the hardwareI recently got a Compro card. While not perfect, it's a lot closer than the above mentioned makes. So I recommend checking them out.
one card works fine in one computer on the other it stinks,
I have noticed.
NOt everyone has a cable box, some just have an analog signal.If you cable system has an s-video out, then an s-video cable to the input on the card is best. But it probably won't have s-video out, so then you'll need to run from a SCART socket on the cable box. You will then need a converter to convert the signal for the s-video input, or get a card with a composite input (which is what I use on my Compro).
But S-VHS I use because I have a S-VHS videorecorder and S-VHS
does give a nice clean picture.
But I will look at the card you mentioned. Who knows, there could
always be better cards.
