Lindy Video Splitter Pro - video splitter - 2 ports

Advantages: Superb Graphics Quality, Cheaper than some competitors
Disadvantages: Some users may not be able to afford it

...I purchased a Sapphire ATi Radeon x800 Pro Graphics card about 6 months ago from eBuyer for about £280. Compared to my previous card, the Radeon 9700 Pro, this card provided amazing 3D quality, life-like water reflections, and the ability to run 3D applications and games at full resolution without a visible compromise of speed. You can get the Sapphire x800 Pro version for about £220-250 depending on where you buy it, there is also a 'VIVO' version, which means 'Video In, Video Out' and comes with a Video-in port which enables the user to connect up a digital camcorder or other video source for capture by the x800. The VIVO version is about £10-20 more expensive than the standard version. [SPECIFICATIONS] I will list some basic specifications, and an explanation of each specification as some readers do not understand the meaning... Read review

... The Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro has a very sleek and stylish design and looks a great addition to any laptop or desktop computer. The Creative Live!

...I got this external capture card, or at least I call it a capture card anyway, video input adapter, whatever! it allows for both video and audio from a TV or VCR or camcorder to appear and thus be recorded on your computer. Anyway I got it from my parents as a Christmas present a few years ago, as I wanted something to allow me to get footage from my old VHS tapes that held footage I'd taken on holidays with my camcorder. Its a fairly simple device, with one end being the USB lead that connects to your computer through a USB port and the other end being a few a/v leads that connect to/go into a SCART lead, which you then plug into a free SCART port on your TV/VCR. Inbetween is the device which I believe does the encoding from analogue into digital, so that it can be interpreted and shown on your computer screen and saved to your... Read review
