hi

I have a powermac G3 (blue and white)

and I am looking for a video capture card so that I can capture analog video

In the past I have used a USB MyTV capture device -but the quality was always poor.

I have searched and have found a lot of PC video capture cards - but I'm not sure these will work in the powermac G3?

wondering if anybody has any recommendations for a low cost capture card? or a pc card that will work with my machine?

thanx in advance

For that hardware, a FireWire DV video converter and a large hard disk are the best. DV video is not very CPU-intensive, so it's better for slower machines.

PC capture cards won't work in Macs, the drivers aren't available.

Some of the USB devices that have hardware MPEG2 encoding work quite well, but of course MPEG is terrible for editing, if that's something you plan to do. (DV was designed for editing.)
