have fun! i switched to digital camcorder when i tried capturing from my regular one. the regular camcorders dont have a very good quality of video when u get them on the computer, at least mine didnt. went out and bought a digital and it works pretty well. still not the best but i can see mself now. i would pm combattalon and ask him about it. he is the one that got me going on video capture. youll also need a capture program. he set me up with a free version of vegas video. anyway, i would get ahold of him for any suggestions.
