    whats the best way to feed PS2 video into a PC?

    Okay, I think I've brushed up enough of my Tekken 5 and the american version of Tekken DR.. now I'm thinking of making some combo videos..

    Whats the best way to feed them into the PC without losing too much quality?

    If there's anyone here who wants to have a laugh, I might actually upload it somewhere and post it here..
    Me want Ultrabook

    The Hauppauge cards are supposed to be pretty good quality. Their hardware MPEG-2 PVR boards have pretty good quality components, loads of people use them with cable/satelite boxes with MythTV etc.

    Can you get hold of a Camcoder with a video input? This would let you record in DV which makes re-editing a lot easier and you won't be getting compression artefacts at the first stage.

    If you are ogint to record with a regular software based video capture board then recording in something like Motion-JPEG, DV, HuffYUV or even MPEG-2 I-Frames (unlikely this option would be available though) is the way to go.
