Re: Video Capture Card?

I have an ATI card at home and it is great for capturing video up to 15 minutes and after that it runs the risk of dropping frames and having your audio and video out of sync and looking like a bad asian film.
Now I know people are going to say that there are a thousand different ways to setup your HD/Processor/Ram but I have never really got this to work beyond 20 minutes without dropping frames.
If you are going to be doing full movies I would go with a Osprey card. There is no video out as this is strictly a capture card only.

Now I could go with something like that also! Only problem is that all sources I've found so far for Osprey 210 are "not in stock" - takes special backorder. CDW said they had had 3 on back-order for a good customer for some 4 weeks already. Place called PC Universe claims to have them, but phone call reveals actual stock is "-10" -- i.e. they have 10 on backorder already also.

Still looking. Thanks.

I have the "old" osprey 100 card(no audio) and it
works fine for capture from VCR..use the cable from
VCR to osprey and to audio card in my puter...can also
hook up my cable TV to VCR and capture from TV channels..

set up a raid set of 55GB for TV capture and all works fine...newer osprey cards with audio are better but you can use the old 100 if you can find one...FWIW
