∙ 14y agoIt depends really, find one that has the proper inputs compatible with your TV. You may also want to look for one that records HD video, which would require inputs such as HDMI, Component, DisplayPort, and DVI. You do not necessarily need all of those, but HDMI being the most common, I would look for one with that.

some other things to look for would be the port to interface with a camera could be a fire wire S-video or composite video port data transfer rates capture and resolution ability to transfer data back to digital camcorder or VCR(who uses those any more really?) stereo audio jacks video editing software that may come packaged with the card

Should you use an S Video port to connect a capture card to a computer?
No, you should use a bus to connect a capture card to a computer.

How do you transfer film from a video camera to a DVD?
Firstly, you should capture the film from the camera, WinDV and PowerDirector can both capture videos. Then edit your video files (such as edit out some scenes you don't want, etc.) with video editing software and then make your own DVD with some DVD authoring software. Maybe you should try MPEG Video Wizard DVD, which is capable of video editing and DVD authoring. But it cannot do the capture work.
