I've got a bunch of HI8 tapes from an overseas trip.

I also have the following:

1) Iomega BUZ in a dual-boot WIN98/Mandrake Linux 466 celeron box.
2) WINTV Happauge in a WIN2K 800 mhz p3 box.

I tried capturing the tapes directly from my Sony camcorder to the Iomega
buz S-VIDEO input, but even at 200k/frame (the highest MJPEG quality) I
wasn't satisfied with the result.

Do I need better capturing hardware?  If so what are my choices?  Is the
speed of those two boxes enough to do lossless capturing under certain
circumstances?

How do I tweak the BUZ capturing under Linux with mjpeg tools/lavrec and/or
under WIN98?

Any and all advise/wisdom would be great.

Right now I'm thinking I should wait until I can save up for a MINIDV
camcorder (any advise on these?) and transfer it that way, or perhaps get a
really nice quality analog capture board - but I need advise on that too.
