I've recently purchased a JVC S-VHS VCR. My intention is to capture my 1995 widescreen VHS tapes of the OOT so that I can produce my own dual-layer DVDs of them (until such time as Luca$hFilm release something better than my non-anamorphic versions, of course!).
I intend to purchase a desktop PC, which forms the next phase of my masterplan! I assume that most shop-bought desktops won't come with anything like the capture cards discussed as standard? Is 512Mb RAM sufficient or do you need at least 1024Mb? Is there a minimum clock speed I should be looking for on the processor? And what software would be best to use to capture the footage from my tapes and burn to dual-layer DVD with the least amount of quality losses possible?
