In our multimedia era capturing and mounting videos on a PC has almost became a common task. The simplification of video editing software and the increased power offered by recent computers have greatly contributed in achieving such a momentum. Even if capturing and editing a DV film can be done in a snap with just a cheap firewire adapter, problems begin when you want to output the film to analogue sources like VHS tapes or insert into the current film scenes from Hi8 sources, for example. In that case you need a specific video capture card. Until recently such a card was extremely expensive (around $1000) and a bit complex to use. To address those needs, Pinnacle Systems, has released an all-in-one product named ‘Studio Deluxe’ that’ll turn your computer into a real video studio for only $299. This kit includes an advanced AV/DV capture card that supports input from and output to digital and analog camcorders, VCRs or TV sets along with two acclaimed software: Studio 7 that’ll be the video editor and Pinnacle Express that’ll help you output your movies on DVDs.
