It's all digital in the end.  You made me remember part of my 
inventory.  I do have a TV-tuner card with the Brooktree BT848 chipset.  
It used to work with kwintv then the tuner died.  The composite still 
works last I checked.  I haven't tried to capture anything off of it 
though but I will try.

What I mean by analog is the originating source material.  I can't 
justify spending $1000 for the DV camera I want for this project.  When 
I can blow $1000, I'll get the camera I want, upgrade to firewire, and 
be up2date.

Thanks for making me remember.
