Did anyone ever try this:
I have a JVC VHS-C camcorder that has full-auto settings (leveler, focus,
lighting, etc.). It also has a snapshot feature, where it'll capture a
frame.
Use the video camera to take 'pictures', then connect the video output to a
good quality video capture card, and 'capture' the still shots.
Has anyone ever tried this? I was thinking this may be possible, since I
already have the camera, and I can get a vid cap card for about $50
It worked OK for me using a Hi8 Canon into a RasterOps Video card in my old
Mac IIx (surprize, on topic reference). I went direct, never tried taping,
used plenty of light, and only static objects (my bare foot actually. As a
joke I uploaded the image to a photo area on Compuserve and got requests
for some more images. Weird people out there.)
