Once again MiroVideo DC10+ or RainbowRunner G-series – please help me to choose
Hi everyone!
I’m sorry for asking this question again (I read the similar question on this forum some days ago, but that Q&A was useless for me).
The main goal is to capture and edit my home movies (which I have 20-30 of 45 minutes tapes), and then write them back to tape WITHOUT LOSS OF QUALITY (in the future, maybe, on CDR/DVD-RAM).
Rainbow Runner cheaper (in Moscow RR-G costs $165, DC10 – $250), has a TV tuner, and probably can make all I need.
DC10+ has a bit better horizontal resolution, can work with better compression (3:1), but I don’t know need I all of this or not. Maybe RR-G can do this either?
Has DC10+ better quality of capture/write back? Has it more abilities? Such as color correction, brightness, contrast – for correction of defects in video (for instance invalid illumination).
I never worked with any computer video capture board.
I read a lot about problems with RR-G on this forum and I can’t understand –can I work comfortably with RR-G or not? Many strange “black boxes” put me in a little shock.
I hear, also, that RR-G tuner can’t work with D/K system – is it true?
My PC: MB – Asus P3BF, Pentium III 450Mhz, 96 Mb RAM, HDD IBM DJNA371350 (UDMA66, 7200rpm, 13,5Gb), Matrox G400 DH 32Mb, SB LIVE! Value, CD-ROM 8x, Genius LAN GE2500III SE PCI Ethernet Adapter (10Mbit), Floppy 3”, case – ASUS FK-600.
I use Windows 98.
My camcorder – Panasonic NV-VX7 (VHS), VCR – Sony SLV-436EE (VHS)
In future I plan to add some RAM (up to 160-224 Mb), maybe buy another HDD.
All advices are very welcome! (E-Mail: dmitroom@mtu-net.ru)
