<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I have just upgraded to windows XP and am interested in it's video editing abilities. It says you can copy none digital videos from VCRs and camcorders, but I dont understand how. Do I have to get an expansion card of some sort that has RCA or composite in? </BLOCKQUOTE><BR>

Yes, to get analogue video into the computer you need either a capture card or an external digitizer that will turn it into a digital signal. <BR>

Also, be aware that digital video, in it's raw form, makes VERY big files. You can compress before editing, but that affects video quality badly.<BR>
