Hi everyone!!

I did put this request couple of days ago but no replies yet... so please help me if you can

My brother wants to go into the video editing business (using computer) for Weddings and parties.

Being in a IT for over 10 years I can build him a PC but I am struggling with the VIDEO cards... Can someone please help me to find out about the BEST card for this purpose?

What he wants is to input raw data via his digital camera (or even analogue - if possible but important) and do some HOLLYWOOD effects, edit/merge scene, put external voice/sound and output back as DV and Analogue format. What are my options here?

Thanks in advance

Does he have any kind of budget in mind? A not-to-exceed kind of figure for the capture card and software? $100? $300? $600?

Thanks Mirror Image for replying...

I don't want any software (if possible, ‘cause sometime they comes with the card) I have got all the latest software Adobe Premier 6 etc.

For card he is willing to spend up to $1000 and may be more if necessary.

Kind Regards
