Cheap analog capture card for FCP7.
Hi all,
I need to capture some VHS tapes (couple of 100). I want to have the end result in SD Prores HQ.
Are there any old capture cards that I can pick up and use for this? One that has composite of s-video in.Does anyone have any suggestions?
PCI-X or PCI-E, doesn’t matter I think.
Found these one on ebay:
Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme + Breakout Cable + Software:

AJA Kona-LH 12-Bit HD and SD Video Editing and Graphics PCI-X
https://www.benl.ebay.be/itm/111233447467?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649Difficult to find user manuals of these legacy cards.
Cheers!

It does matter. This is pretty important. These are different connections. Are you running a G5, or a MacPro?
This card is cheaper than both the ones listed, and does what you need:

Although ProRes HQ for VHS? that’s overkill. The quality won’t improve at all over ProREs 422. Only increase you’ll see is file size.

I’m running hackintosh so I got PCI but no PCI-X. So it does matter like you say.
But the newer blackmagic solutions start at 200$, much more then the 90$ Blackmagic Decklink on ebay…

Or am I missing something?
Cheers!

Your gonna need a hackincard. I’ve never seen one.
If your computer has firewire, you can use a dv camcorder to capture to DV format.

Not really. My friend has a Hackintosh running a Decklink Extreme. Cut a doc feature with it.
