Video Capture

vvvv beta question
1

Any recommendation for a video capture card (external, it is for a laptop) that works on vvvv? Price is the main issue, and the source is SD, so I dont really need HD capture.

Thanks!

I use a Pinnacle Dazzle USB interface for a club installation. Has been pretty darn reliable so far, can pick one up for under $50.

Wow, thanks for all the answers!

Ys, I do have usb 3.0 - The black magic Intensity mentioned by gilbi sounds really interesting, but this is just an experiment, so I want to keep costs down (by the way, does anyone has used it on vvvv?)

Jonferran, does VVVV recognize the Dazzle USB as a videoIn or you are using the Screenshot (EX9.Texture) method?

Thanks!

The dazzle shows up in the videoin, and it switches between s-video and composite inputs just fine.

I would be cautious about the blackmagic intensity USB version. I have read many many reviews that say it wouldn’t work with their USB 3.0 card or motherboard. I know it doesn’t work with usb 3.0 expressCard adapters. I think there are very few laptops, if any, that it works with.

the intensity shuttle only works with a certain motherboard chipset, as they say (a bit hidden) on the homepage.
