newbie - which is the best?

[Bansaw]

I am looking at capturing video from a conference I am shooting live. So, straight from the camcorder into the computer to be edited later.

I've looked at some internal capture cards, like the Pinacle 500, the ADS Pyro DV etc etc, but I am a little bit lost. Price range not important. Just want the best value with no frames dropped.

Has anyone got any capture-card recommendations for these live situations?

Thanks!

ps: I've got a PC desktop, 3GHz 1 GRAM 260GB storage.
I'm using a Canon GL2 camcorder.

Since it's a DV cam, no capture card is needed - you transfer the DV AVI to the computer using FireWire. It's just a matter of digital data transfer.

Don't capture, copy the video from the camera using the firewire connection.

and PLEASE use a subject that describes your topic, not just which is best?

Capsfer from Cam to PC using Firewire (iLink, etc.) using WinDV. It's a free utility that does the job very well.
