Hi,

I'm thinking about to purchase a video capture hardware for my Macintosh 9500/G3-500MHz. I want to burn VCDs from VCR Tapes, ... not burning DVDs!
I saw a USB hardware called "MyTv" from EscapeLabs but it seems to be bad quality cause of the bandwith of the USB bus.

A Person told me to buy for the same money a used DC30+ PCI card, which produces much better quality.

What are your experiences with this card?

As I told, I don't want to produce DVDs, I know there exist a product from formac "DV-Studio" to record via firewire, but for me it's too expensive and by the way, my machine wouldn't handle the needed CPU power to produce and burn movies in such a quality to DVD.

Do exist actual drivers for the DC30+ for OS9.1?? I haven't found them at pinnacle!
Is there a hardware difference between the version for PC or MAC?? Or does it depend only upon the driver for each System?

How much Time it will take to convert a MJPEG Movie (90 Min.) to VCD format??

Thank you very much for assistance!
Andrew
