I normally capture everything in AVI format to maximize the potential source video quality using the RCA audio/video, S-video, or DV/firewire ports. And, yes, I know capturing a VHS video in AVI format is overkill, but I take the AVI content and convert it to either MPEG2 (DVD) or MPEG4 (video file for Windows, Mac, etc.).
I have dozens of video cartridges (VHS, digital Hi8, analog Hi8, other HD camcorders, etc.) to convert and I want to get another USB-connected DV/HD-compatible analog-to-digital capture device so I can have two computers capturing simultaneously into AVI files. I plan to capture video directly off DV camcorders using the DV/Firewire port.
Ideally, I want to get a second MBHD. Unfortunately, the Moviebox HD is no longer manufactured or sold. And the current Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder HD does not do AVI capture nor have a DV/firewire port.
I would prefer to use a USB capture device so I can easily move it between computers, but I would consider an internal card if the performance and functionality are superior to USB.
Does anyone have any recommendations for USB (or internal card) capture devices and software that will support DV/firewire connections (as well as the RCA audio/video and S-video ports) and AVI video output format? What do you use to capture?
Thank you,
Sailor Guy
