Wish I could! We already have 1 Intel Mac Pro and 3 G5s. But it was a struggle to get the money to upgrade to FCS 2. So I think the card might be a better idea.

Have you been cruising the web on your computer while your capturing? (this is something the G5’s and Intels have the power to do) If you use another application while capturing and then try to get back to FCP to stop the capture, the escape key does not always respond as it should.
command tab back to FCP and then hit the escapte key to stop the capture. -
In fact are you not more likely to fry the firewire port on the tape deck as opposed to the G5? Hence the proliferation of people offering to fix DSR-11s with this problem, on the web.

As Walter said you also need to turn your device control (In the capture settings tab, above the Capture Input) to “Non-controllable device” This is the bottom selection of that list. Then start your footage on the VHS deck and then push the “Now” button on the bottom of the window. Hit escape when your done.

Put the caption movie on the timeline, double click on it and then go to the motion tab in the viewer. Open up the crop triangle and set the bottom crop to 97, that should reveal all the active video but leaving the caption information intact.

Take the file that Aberdeen gives you and put it at the top layer of the timeline, crop it so just the caption information is showing and then render.
My program is 16:9 letterboxed to 4:3, so I put it on video track one and then put everything else on top of it.

Even though I am in Texas and they are in LA, I use a company called Aberdeen Captioning. Their service is fantastic. I make a small format QT movie of my 60 min broadcast, send it to their FTP site and within about 48 hrs. they e-mail me back a QT movie with the capion information over black which I edit into the program.
They have bent over backwards to help me, and I believe this workflow keeps the quality level high (No generation loss on the caption copy). Their rates are real good also.
