Topic says it all!

What do you guys/gals use to cap shows?

I have a powerbook (mac) laptop. Just wondered what I could get to record stuff here?

Cheers for any info.

I use a PCTV-Rave card, which was discontinued a few years back, but it still works perfectly for the kind of caps I do. I got 3rd party drivers for it which means I can use it with Virtual Dub to cap live shows direct to Divx.

I really have no idea about doing it on a mac though - but with it being designed for media stuff I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to get into.

I'll have a scout about on the Internet for a PCI card, as it'd have to be on my laptop, cause my comp's in another room to the TV.

Cheers
