Hi all,
I am looking into buying a new notebook computer. I would like to be able to capture and edit analog video on it, and burn it to DVD.
I think just about every computer maker has DVD burners available in their notebooks...but video capture capabilities is another story.
My question is does anybody know of a maker of notebooks that has an option for a built-in video capture card? I basically just want a composite or s-video input built in to the lap-top. I don't believe Gateway or Dell has anyhting like this. No idea about Mac or other makers though.
Is there anyone who makes something like this? Preferably with hardware mpeg-2 encoding?
Or are good video capture cards just not made small enough to fit into notebooks?
If not, can you reccomend a good USB or PCMIA device that will result in decent quality DVDs??
Thanks in advance for any help and/or reccomendations.
P.S.
