There are somecapture cards with inbuilt hardware mpeg 2 processing available from around $199to $399 AU dollars. When using Pinnacle Studio Programs with Pinnacle hardwarecapture cards you must continually defrag your hard drive & constantlyreboot your computer & it is pot luck when you start to capture if you getout of sync or in sync audio capture when capturing in mpeg 2.

If you want to capture the best possible picture quality youmust only capture in AVI uncompressed video format this will use much harddrive space depending NTSC or PAL 1 hour= 80 to 100 gigabytes of hard drive space but you get the best possible picturequality for editing and you not get the out of sync audio problems when youedit your video from AVI compressed or uncompressed formats.
