been thinking about this for a while locust,i have actually got a pinnacle card that i have yet to install but i havent got round to sorting out software yet,as the card was removed from another pc and obviously i didnt get the software and drivers etc with it.drivers for xp are no worries as the pinnacle site have them in the downloads section.as far as software for it and editing the videos i transfer from vhs i may just call upon your knowledge for guidence when i get round to it.look out for pm or email sometime.
