Hey guys,
Here's some quick background on my situation. I am converting my home movies to DVD. I converted a bunch not too long ago, but my computer was having problems connecting to the Internet because something on my comp must've been conflicting with Verizon.
Anyways, I had a computer guy re-install my entire operating system. I like how everything is cleaned out and the comp isn't cluttered, but now, my computer doesn't read my current capture card (It's a card that came packaged with Pinnacle 8 editing software--the same one that was working prior to the computer getting the OS re-installed). The comp recognizes that there is hardware on the comp, but it asks me to place a disk called "Windows Millenium Edition" enter the computer to continue installing the drivers I believe. The problem is that I cannot locate this disk. And the funny thing is that I don't remember needing to put in ANY disk to have the capture card be read by the computer when I first bought Pinnalce 8 a few years ago. I honestly just remember putting it in the PCI slot, putting the Pinnacle discs in my cd-rom drive to install the editing software and I was good to go.
Anways, my question to you guys is this...what should I do? I really like editing and want to convert my home movies to dvd. How should I approach this? Should I try and find another video capture card and hope that works? And if so, is there one that isn't too expensive and that will come with a cd that will install drivers for it?
Is there a certain capture card you'd recommend? Do you have any other ideas? Thanks guys.
EDIT: Just in case you need to know, I have a digital/DV Camera tape. Using 8mm, not mini-dv. Thanks in advance, guys.
