John Hope Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I have been looking at graphics cards in Currys and Comet around £60-£70. I want a graphics card for gaming, I noticed that the graphics cards had TV Output and DVI out. Would I be able to transfer vhs video to my computer with the tv output?

Savannah2 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 You will need a video capture card to translate the analog video into a digital format and copy it onto your hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Would I be able to transfer vhs video to my computer with the tv output? Nope:D. The tv out is to display you PC's output on a TV, as opposed to the monitor:thumbsup:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennangton Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 What cards are you looking at for gaming? Nvidia series or ATI. Alot of new games these days require alot more than just a small budget graphics card unfortunatley and usually a lot of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
