    Greets,

    I have been using an aging canopus PCI card to do my video capturing into premiere. It is fairly old (at least 6 years) and I have to assume there have been SOME advances in the technology in the interim.

    I am assuming that component would provide better video to capture than composite, but I may be missing the mark if it is all boiled out through the capture and codec.

    With this, I am wondering if some kind soul can recommend a fairly good (reasonably priced; as it is more of a hobby, than anything, but I would rather have good quality even if its just a hobby) video converter box. In this case, I will be capturing from a Motorola DVR through into premiere (so firewire would be needed).

    Recommendations (component or, if its really moot, composite) are appreciated.

    videohelp.com has a pretty complete list of capture cards. Worth a look.

    Thanks!

    In that case, it seems I need to stick with this 6+ year old ADC-50, since it is the second highest rated one on the list (the highest being the step up from that model; of equal age).

    I would have thought technology might have advanced :)

    Thanks!
