Hey guys,

The parents are really interested in me putting their old VHS tapes on dvd. I've searched all over the internet looking for what requirements I need out of a capture card. None of which I am seeing that have an audio in port?? I have spdif in and out on my mobo which I'm hoping can be used as well But I'm not sure.

Basically what do I need? The parents said they'll buy the software if I buy the hardware. So here's my plan, get a capture card under 150 if possible and spend about 450-500 on software... What would you guys suggest? I have no idea how to do this... I'm assuming the software from pinnacle would get it done... But just what am i looking for in a capture card? I know analog in but what else? Also what software would you guys suggest. Thanks!

a capture card had audio out, you plug that into the "line in" of your sound card (this way, no conflicting sound cards). get a card and virtual dub (free and good). don't get pinnacle

an example of a good card under 150?

if you have media center, nvidia nvtv.
otherwise a osprey 220 hardware encoder capture card
there a few of them
