I have captured some video from my 8mm camcorder into my ATI tuner card and edited it and burned it to DVD. I am not too happy with the quality of the video. I am capturing it as an MPEG2 file 640x240. I am wondering if this card is good enough? Would I be better off with a different card? Would I be better off buying a new Digital (8mm) camera and capturing that way(firewire). I have not read anyone comparing a capture card VS. a digital camera when capturing analog 8mm film. Thanks for any advice or opinions.

i use an ATI 8500 DV card to capture and it seams to do a good job most camcorders dont record at high resolution most of my tapes see no real inprovement above VCD 320 x 240 capture
to get perfect sound sync before burning they need a pass throu an encodeing program than burn to disk.(there are many guides look at the links on thia site) i dont bother with DVD on things recored on older camcorders i just go right to VCD again the quality is not there and cant be added later. a good DV not 8mm camcorder will film at a quality worth burning to DVD some newer ones film with 525 lines
