Hello all i just bought a firewire card so i can capture video form my mini DV cam, i want ed to know if there were some in depth tutorials that people know of. Also whats the best program for capturing, i heard adobe priemere is good, but alos heard something about audio sync problems, also whats the best editing tool, i want to transfer my DV tapes to DVD-R. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

One very good software for DV-capture is www.scenalyzer.com

I have tried all kinds of different capture programs to capture 1394 DV and believe it or not, the one I prefer is the Microsoft’s Windows Movie Maker. Starts quick, low overhead, stops when you ask it, free with XP…it just works. I have never had a single problem with it.

I suggest EditStudio3 from www.puremotion.com to do the capture
(free trial & capture still works after trial period has expired).

Use TMPGEnc/Plus to do Encodes to MPEG; will also do basic editing
(free trial from www.pegasys-inc.com).

Use DVD Moviefactory to create menus and burn
(free trial from www.ulead.com).
