(possible re-post, sorry...Pegasus aborted the first time) Re: If you look, you'll find that video capture devices range from cheap and lo-res (< $100 and about 150 pixels across) to mid-range ($200 to $300, about 250 to 300 pixels across) to expensive ($300+, about 300 to 640 (or more?) pixels across). There appear to be 4 basic interfaces: 1) USB 2) parallel port 3) backplane (i.e., card plugs into your system) 4) FireWire I found one low cost device in the mid-range performance category, made by Belkin. It's a USB device and cost me about $89. Not counting the cable, it's about the size of a pack of gum. Inputs: SVHS and regular RCA jack. The included software uses your sound card to get the audio. It captures to MPEG format. I'm not a video expert...but the quality seems acceptable to me.
