Analog video capture card for sale - CHEAP!

[karohemd]

Pinnacle/miroVideo DC10 plus
PCI video capture card
Video In/Out, SVideo In/Out
with editing software Pinnacle Studio: capture, editing (crop, transitions/wipes, titles, etc.), output (either as files using any video codec you have installed or output via the video/svideo ports to a VCR).
All original with packaging and software.
Yours for only £10

This card isn't supported by the manufacturer anymore and won't run under Windows 2000 or XP. It ran fine under Win98, though.
You should be able to connect any camcorder/VCR with an analog output (Video/SVideo).

As I have a DV camcorder and pretty much everyone has a DVD player or PC that can read VCDs, I'm going to move to a Firewire card, use AVID FREE DV for editing and output the result to VCD. Eventually, I'm going to buy a DVD burner as those are getting really cheap now and I'll need to be able to archive large files, anyway.

You can also add, runs very well under linux, I am using mine for DVD/VCD output to TV and input for my PS1 :-)

I paid a lot more than 10 quid though :-(

So did I but that was five years ago.

This was only 4 months ago :-(

I also have a Rainbow Runner Studio which only works in win98. If I had the gumption Id reverse engineer it for linux.

The card isn't even produced anymore and I originally paid 40 for it, I think.
Are you sure it's the same model?

Check ebay, they go for quite high prices. Probably because for PC they are one of the few decent tv-out cards available. Most of the others are either a pain to setup or dont do frame syncing so you get tearing.

My G450 was wonderful but a pain, but a power surge blew its tv-out, but thats the nearest card I have found to what I get with the DC10+.

The RRS would be equivalent if I didnt need to run win98 to make it work. Even the RRS fetches upto 30 quid on ebay.

Still no drivers for XP/2000, though.

Wow. Well, I'd rather give it to a friend for tenner, tbh. It's that or putting it on a shelf to rot somewhere.

According to website Studio 7 contains XP drivers, also the DC30 WDM driver can be encouraged to work :-)

My opinion is nice card though :-) Pity you didnt advertise this 4 months ago :-)

I considered upgrading studio (Cambridge Computers have version 8 for a tenner) but then I wouldn't have a firewire port.

No doubt that it's a nice card. Sorry! ;o)

If it will work with XP I'll go for it - the TV out feature could be useful, this PC has VGA on the motherboard and doesn't have a video output. If you could contact me by email (better send it to marcus dot rowland at gmail dot com since spam on my usual address is ridiculously high right now) and let me have your snail mail address I'll get a cheque in the post.

Wierdly, I just checked the disks I got with my DC10+ and I have a disk of winXP drivers. I never looked before as I rarely use XP/2k. But they installed ok.
