Datavideo DAC 100 and Canopus ADVC 100

[vsenapati]

Is there A/V syn problem in Datavideo DAC 100 ?
Do you think performance wise is it the same like Canopus ADVC 100 ?
Which one would you suggest me to purchase for DV capture and then encoding to VCD: DAC100 or ADVC 100 ?

Both perform equally well. No reports of auido/video sync problems for either unit. My suggestion is to buy the cheapest of those 2 units.

Thanks for your advice. I have totally dropped the idea for going for Dazzle Hollywood DVB. Now,I have to decide between DAC100 and ADVC 100. In USA DAC100 cost US$180 whereas ADVC100 costs US$275. Whereas in India ADVC100 costs IN Rs.18700( US$381) and I have the find out the price of DAC100.

Finally, I had to go for Canopus ADVC50 which costed me Indian Rs.12740/-(USD $260) whereas Datavideo DAC100 was costing IN Rs.18500/-(USD $377). I have placed an order and waiting for delivery.

I got my Canopus ADVC 50 today. I tried capturing from my Analog camcorder and I was surprised at the quality of capture in DV. I could not capture in that quality earlier using Dazzle DVC II in MPEG2(8 MBPS). I have taken the right decision, Thanks to the members in this forum.
