Re: [sgroup] Windows S760 Editor

Hi, I have been using TV cards on laptops/PC's, you can find low cost USB or PCI cards everywhere, just check that they have an svideo input AND cable/plug. This way you don't waste more space than necessary, and can use Alt- Tab to switch to your sampler (still have to use the other mouse unfortunately). This one looks OK : http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_usblive2.html If the bundled software is a bit of an overkill, you can try this one : http://www.kastortv.org I found it to be just excellent.
