Rod is correct in thast MM2 can capture analogue, what I meant to say is
that it cannot capture full quality avi, you have to save as a compressed
wmv file. If you wanted full quality avi, you'd still need a digital
convertor of sorts.
Thanks to Rod for the correction :)
How are you getting along?

> Capturing video from analogue sources works fine with MM2. The analogue
video from a vcr or camera should go into the video in of a properly
installed and configured analogue capture device or card - for example a
VIVO ATI or nVidia video card. The analogue audio usually goes into the line
in of your computer sound card.

required to go any further.
