Hi,

I have a laptop with an available PCMCIA and USB2 port and am looking to buy an external video capture device. My intent is to capture to an avi file using either Huffyuv or PicVideo's MJPEG codec.

I've been doing a lot of searching online and can't seem to find anything that will allow me to do this. Most of these external type boxes perform hardware compression to MPEG/MPEG-2 format only.

Any laptop users been able to capture to an avi file? If so, what capture device are you using? Thanks.

On USB or FireWire probably the best you can hope for is DV in an AVI container. There are a bunch of DV cards or a lot of DV camcorders can be used in pass through mode.

I've been using the plextor M402U. It is an external box that connects the AV cables from a device to the box then USB to the computer. Using Intervideo WinDVD Creator, I record what's on the device to my computer. There are about 14 different options of how you want to convert the file. One of which is AVI. Others are MPEG-4 and 2...etc. Hope this helps.
