There is no need to get a capture card because any firewire card can do the same job.
I used to own the Matrox RTX100 and now RTX2 card. They are not just a capture card. They both handle analog capture as well. The key feature is the realtime capability during editing, without waiting to render the preview. It worths the money investing such card if someone is serious about video editing. Now the RTx2 replaced the RTX100 card. For HDV editing, RTX2 delivers a lot more than RTX100. With Premiere along, capture of HDV yield an .mpeg file with audio out of sync at the point of drop out. Premiere handle .mpeg file poorly in editing (scrubbing, indexing the mpeg file...). With the matrox add-on card, it captures to AVI file just like what we do in DV.

If you have a firewire port on the computer, you can still input and output video on the computer. The only advantage a CAPTURE card offers is real-time preview and some effects that don't come with Premiere. Adrianne, you say the computer is pretty fast (Alienware, huh... I'll bet it was smoking when it was new!) and I'll bet it has a firewire port either on the motherboard or as an add-on card. Have you tried using just the firewire for capturing? It probably will satisfy your hobby needs. Good luck, Glen in Vegas Taky Cheung wrote: > > That's not a video card she is asking to replace. The Matrox RT.X100 > is a video editing acceleration card.
