Hi,

Can anyone please suggest a good quality capture card and MPEG 1 software for under #200 english pounds each. I am looking for result close to VHS. This is for a staff training Video CD so broadcast quality is not necessary.

Your suggestions and reasons will be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Leon Hart.

ps. miss spelled email address on last entry. Sorry.............!

You should mention your source: VHS VCR, Hi8, S-Video, DV etc. as that can affect suggestions. Recommendations are difficult to make but the best I can do is advise you check out this site:

You'll find some interesting comparisons though the English is a bit dodgy times. As for software, check out:

I use a Matrox G200 combination graphics and M-JPEG video card and I'm very happy with it.

Good luck!
