Not sure exactly what you're trying to say here. My old £20 card, bought in 2004, can capture uncompressed.

Only that I didn't think there was such a thing as a cheap uncompressed analogue capture card, but I was obviously wrong :-)

£20? That's mad... I wouldn't expect to find one of those half-arsed USB capture boxes for that amount.

I was doing most of my own analogue transfers around 2004 - looks like I missed a trick! I used a DV Storm card, which was a great editing accelerator but could only capture DV - I've subsequently discovered how limited that format is (particularly if you're encoding again to MPEG-2). You live and learn...
