I needed to be able to use both DV (shot from my camera) and analogue (donated footage from others) in the same project, was on a tight budget, so went with a DV raptor (firewire only) card and purchased a sony TRV 900. The camera takes analogue - both svideo and composite - signals in. Sure I have to record all the analogue stuff onto mini DV, but the tapes are cheap, the card works well on my pentium 2 266MHZ (though I would suggest a P3 450). The DVCAM pro version of the TRV900 (the pdr 100 I think??) also has analogue in. Works for me.(posted 8965 days ago)
