Has anyone had any experience with the Hauppauge USB Live frame grabber? It costs $50 USD and seems to come with software that would allow file conversion. I...
Michael, using an external video grabber there are two important things to consider. 1.) the single video field resolution in time (as mentioned by you) 2.)...
I noticed that some KIWI-OSD users use a PC-164 camera and others use a WATEC camera. What's the difference between the two, in terms of features and price? ...
