Talking Laptop Composite Video Capture

Hi Folks,

Has anyone got any suggestions for a PCMCIA video capture card or USB device for composite video connections.

I have a small composite camera I want to capture the images on a laptop, which may happen when I am on the move.

I have seen the Belkin USB capture kits but don't know how good / bad they are.

Thanks

Iain

If you go down the USB route, make sure its USB 2, if possible get one with firewire as well. Does your camera have direct digital transfer ?


The pinnacle DC10 type kit is excellent for the money and comes with pinnacle studio 9 software.

All comes down to how much cash you want to part with.

Cool

As mentioned composite only. No digital feed.

This is not a handycam or anything. This is a very small wireless camera.
The kind that could be happily stuck to a bumper, bonnet .. ;-)

If you get my drift.

The reciever has a live composite feed from it. So I want to capture this feed onto a laptop hard drive so it can be cut to DVD later.
