Too many questions, I know - but here goes:

I have a Sony D8 camcorder with USB streaming, and I'd like to get some advice on the following:

1. What is the difference between a VIVO card and a capture card. I can get either, so which one should I get?
2. I want to burn my home movies to SVCD. What capture res should I use to begin with? 640X480?
3. I use CCE for encoding, but I'm a bit fuzzy on what to use for capturing/editing. Options are Ulead Mediastudio 7, Pinnacle 8, Easy CD/DVD, or Adobe Premier. I use Virtualdub for capturing but need something to edit with effects etc.

Thanks in advance for any replies to the above.
