Of course to capture video at 8 or 10 bit uncompressed 601 you'll need at the very least a high-performance Firewire 800 raid (like the Medea G-Raid) to capture. We use Mac's in our studio, but the Decklink works with PC just as well.
...but then I just realized that if you want to come in S-Video it's not gonna work for you....

@ Charlie X I was just about to purchase the decklink extreme, I have a quick raid but couldn't figure out how to connect the LD player up to the BNC connectors on the breakout cable, I have some old BNC to composite adapters I use on a kramer video processor, would these do the trick? everyone I have asked doesn't seem to know!
I have the Canopus ADVC 300 and its a nice tool and really cleans up and stablises the source but its still a 5:1 compression and I want to squeeze every last drop of detail out of these discs.
