Hello there
I am working on a PC with Pentium III, 512 Ram, Cubase VST32 5.1, Widows XP. 3HDs and a Pulsar II Plus. Minimal settings, no prob-lems. As I am interested to make music for TV ads, I must have the ability to capture Video and make it AVI, so I can work it with Cubase ( I have used Video Module in Cubase with AVI and it works just fine ). I bought a Pinnacle DC10-Plus ( PCI card ) which does Analog capturing and comes with Studio 8 software for editing. I couldn't make it work although the Pinnacle requirements were below my system. I suspect some kind of conflict with Pulsar. (The card DID worked on a friend's Pentium IV without CW Product on ). I am asking if somebody has similar experience and how to deal with it. I am thinking of buying Formac Studio DV ( a Firewire converter ) and add a firewire port to my PC or even buy a Mac G4.
Thanks.

try video deluxe as it can capture via the dc 10 plus using the standard windows drivers. But if I where you I wouldn't spend time on the analog site of video. This is yesterdays technology.

By the way...I'd remove the pinnacle dv codec since when implemeted you'll get bugs in any other video editor except from studio 8.

Best for analog material is using an external A/D converter and using firewire.

Or keep everything didital. A camcorder equipped with an i-link.
