Hello, and Guten Tag, Theolilou(my only other language is German).

I use a K-World capture card for analogue-to-digital conversion. I don't know about HDMI for this purpose as these devices usually feed the computer though the USB port. In any case, HDMI wasn't around in those dim, dark days of analogue video. I've not yet struck such a device that converts analogue to HDMI, but some smart dude, somewhere might invent one, but until then, its yellow RCA for Video, red & White RCA for left and right stereo audio, into a little device not much bigger than a matchbox, then via USB to computer, suck up all that old analogue stuff and start fiddling.... er.... editing!

Cheers, & Viel Gruss!

Neil.

P.S. A thought just occurred to me, I don't think there's a provision in capture mode for HDMI in any Power Director, Version 14 or earlier, but then I could be wrong.

Neil,
You need to Google HDMI, clearly you're not familiar with the socket/plug/cable HDMI!

Dafydd,

for a start, I honestly did not know of any capture devices which connect with computers via HDMI, and in any case, there are still quite a lot of computers out there that may not have such a connection, be they laptop or desktop(tower) systems. So I was going on the more univerally-available capyure devices which use USB ports to feed captured analogue content. I may look up these HDMI connections, I am aware of them and know they provide audio(left & right channel stereo) plus high definition video in one connection, but it gets back to what's more widely available. As yet I've not seen any of these HDMI Video Capture Interface devices, though I may stumble across one or two in my "travels". But for Theolilou's immediate needs, I suggested the more universally, and readily-available USB-based device.

Neil

It seems like every post on supported capture devices gets derailed somehow. Are there any analog capture devices that are known to work with PowerDirector? I bought PowerDirector 15, so it would be nice to kow what works with that versions too.

Hi,

Not a list, but I've tried many devices over the years and, for simple grabbing from an anologue source - no bells and whistles, I've tried several variants of this type with little/no problems.

Cheers
