Video Capture card??

Hello,
Im looking for a (hopefully cheap) video capture card, but here is the thing.
1. It needs to be vista64 compatible, and
2. Needs to be able to interface to a hi8 camcorder (aka s-video and rca audio)
I dont care if its an internal card, or a simple usb cable, as long as i can capture my soon to be deteriorated hi8 data. Im having trouble finding anything compatible with vista let alone vista64.

Anyone know of anything they can reccomend?
Thanks

Re: Video Capture card??

The Hauppauge PVR150 has 64 bit drivers. (the PVR250 does NOT). It's got
Composite and S-Video, so you should be fine there. It's also quite
cheap!!!!!

Because it has an analog tv tuner, it's no longer available for retail sale,
but you can find them on eBay:

Re: Video Capture card??

If there are no 64 bit drivers for the card then the fact that the card has
Composite and S-Video inputs is not relevant since no application can tell
the card to use them or import data from them.

Re: Video Capture card??

thanks for the replies. i was actually looking more into usb capture solutions.

i do already have a tv tuner/capture card (avermedia m780) which has an s-video input on it. the problem though is that it doesnt recognize that input. ive tried using nero video capture and it only lists the cable and antenna coax inputs as possible sources, and there is no option to select svideo. i downloaded other capture programs online, and its the same thing.

do u have any suggestions on how to capture video through my existing tuner card using s video? are there any programs anyone can reccomend?

thanks

Re: Video Capture card??

Depending on the application you have to tell it that you are using a STB
and not a cable or antenna analog input. The Aver TV application should
provide this option,
