i have a laser disc machine, it reads almost all formats : dvd,vcd,laser disk(the old one with the big size CDs),..etc
I need to connect it to my pc,
some people advised me to use the pinnacle DC10 plus or the pinnacle studio deluxe version 8,the problem is that these cards connects only camcorders , then i saw the pinnacle dv500+ ( very expensive about 1500 USD), what is the best way to connect it to a pc without paying this much money and at the same time getting a good resolution .
the laser disc have an analog output(audio-video)

It depends on how much resolution and image quality you want / need.

You need some sort of video capture card.

One option is one of ATI's All-In-Wonder video cards.

Check out the video card and DVD section at www.compgeeks.com for surplus options.

Any good Analogue AV capture card will give you the ability to capture video and audio to hard disk. You will also need a com port free as most LDP's have RS232 control. Better to use the PC to control the LDP, and view the output on a composite monitor!!

One who knows!!
