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.
