There's a stand alone unit with its own battery and lcd screen that allows transfer of any cassette style video onto an SD card or through to a connected computer. That makes more sense for me....

I gotta bnib firewire card I bought way back when and never used it. Still got the box the card the cord & the cd installer disk.

Do you want it?

Ya'D have to pay for the shipping and postage tho.

Ya need an empty pci slot & the drivers were made fer windows xp. So not sure if there any recent drivers for this product.

Thanks but I had a unit built last year and it's very bundled up/tweaked.... would be a huge headache getting it to work.

Don't know whether it's of any help but back in the day in studios we used to use Betamax as a digital master copy. Maybe it's easier to convert Betamax to a PC?

Oh just thought I'D offer it to you.

It's never been used but it'd likely work on your son's old computer.

Tell ya the truth I still gotta old dell win xp computer that i'm planning to revive. It's down now cuz it needs a video card.

In all honesty I don't see any improvement between those Old pcs from 15 years ago @Harry McKnackers.

All them programs I used back then still work fine.

Windows xp was really good. They should a just made windows xp 64 bit and kept updating eh?

Even win 7 seemed to have a Lotta problems

People don't throw out the old dell computers cuz they still work. Mine worked just like a good Apple Computer. It was seamless fast and bug free.
