The Canopus AceDVio card works beautifully under Windows 2000. I installed one myself and found that it didn't even require special drivers. Just plug it in and you're good to go. Superb card too.[/i]

> 1. is captured analog file same as original by quality?

I've only done VHS captures using an S-VHS player with a S-Video link to the card. Keeping in mind that this is a subjective rating, I'd say the quality loss is around 5%. It's really REALLY good.

>in what field order this capture card fork-lower or upper

Good question, and one that I cannot answer. I'm new to DVD authoring and the significance of this is just occurring to me. I plan on calling Canopus and asking.

I've looked through the manual and Canopus software and don't see an answer to the first part of your question. I haven't done ANY FW capturing with this unit yet so I cannot speak from experience.

The second part of your question seems to ask if you can combine two different types of captured media somehow - you'd have to clarify this before I could attempt to lend any help in this direction.

Hi TMQ its me again,

if you dont mind I will ask you something more:

How did you conect TV to ACEDVio, I suppose via S-VHS or composite video out,

now if you capture using its FW conector, when click to playback that captured video, will ACEDVio use its S-VHS or composite conector to output-show you the capture file to TV.

Thanks

Hook your VHS deck through the S-Video In/Out
and hook up your TV to the VHS deck. That way,
you won't need to change the hook-up.

Depends on how you have your components hooked up.
