But takes a longer process.. Do I just use put the VCR Out of the VCR and change the TV/VCR and it can stream the TV Signal into the ADVC 1394 and then using the bundled software to capture the TV Signal. Will the quality be better than say using the hauppauge WinTV PCi card.. as I hear so much problems with the Hauppauge than the Canopus.. advise as i also need to capture Hi-8 Tapes into it is the reason for the Canopus ADVC 1394. Help and suggestions needed. Thanks
