i don't know if this is the place to ask,

but i'll just ask anyway =P

what does a video capturing and editing card really do ?

all sifus n c-fu's,

sila beri tunjuk ajar =D
Mostly low end ones take composit/s-video and converrt to video on the fly to whatever format codec the device/software used. Most common Mpeg 2. Mostly are PCI of USB 2.0 device. Most tv cards are able to do capture... and also the ATI/AMD all-in-wonder cards... Pinnicle studios/Avermedia also make capture cards....

Any firewire.. PCI bus based, can capture DV content from camcorder at 1:1 speed streaming of sorts... HDD or DVD camcorder would likely only provide USB connections. at greater than 1:1 speed for pure data.

Higher ends consumer capture cards have the ability to take component or HDMI video and convert to the highest availabe consumer based video capture at 1080i... (As hard disk are not fast enough to capture full 1080p... only with raiding HDD will surfice). Blackmagic Intensity HDMI capture card with PCI-e x1 (will soon be mine so I can capture 1080i with my HDR-HC3) for example.

Well, it is expensive. It cost about RM6,999 for that JVC's HD Everio(GZ-HD7). For those who have a tight budget, I'm sorry. I would like to get my hands on the HD camcorder.
Canon HV20 MiniDV or Sony's MiniDV(not HDD) HD camcorder beats GZ-HD7 interms of resolution/ low light performance at 1/2 the price...

Or even panasonic's (sd-card) and sony's (dvd or hdd) that uses AVHCD codec at 2.6k to 4k... dvd version being the cheaper. Quality however not as good as MiniDV (HDV) because of the low bit rate.
