On the look out for a video capture device that handles component video, as well as the usual composite/s video inputs. Narrowed my search down to the following four devices, I wondered if anyone in the forums had used any of them and could offer advice on these or others.
ADS TECH pyro a/v link video capture - $150
Canopus ADVC700 - $1800
Black Magic Video Recorder - $149
Avid Liquid 7 Pro - $850
Im worried the cheap options are just rubbish (how can a $150 one be good when Canopus are selling composite-only models for double that?) Are there any camcorders that accept component in and digital pass-through? Ideally want to import using iMovie/Final Cut Express via fire wire but would settle for bundled software. Thanks!
