I see, thanks for the information. I have a couple more questions: it seems that the japanese version of the V8000 (the V800) has BNC connectors instead of the usual RCA ones and I need to know if that would that make a difference in output quality. I'd also like to know wether the V800 has any other differences versus the V8000 (I don't know where to look for specifics like the diagram you mention) and if either is best connected to the capture card through composite rather than S-Video.
