How bad is pyro DV500 for non-professional NLE in dv/analog?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Shooting DV Films : One Thread

I have read some references to Canopus as the best edition board here. OK, how bad is PYRO's DV500 for someone on a budget who has a Hi8 for now and is planning to move to a DV in the nearest future?

Also, does anyone know if there is a card or combination of cards that would allow for a decent conversion between PAL and NTSC analog tapes? I have both TVs and VCRs. I also know that some analog capture cards would allow the PAL/NTSC choise when you capture, so do some decoder cards. How would the quality be? Sorry to sound unprofessional. Thanks, Tatiana
