I shoot hi8 and use pinnacle studio to edit. I'd recomend this set up if you're pretty new to vid editing but still wana have a lot of the features of the expensive packages.

I was just about to post the same thing and I saw this, except I have something else...maybe vhs-c. Im gonna go search for some cheap capture cards now, too bad I got fired from best buy.

like i said the pinnacle studio makes version 7 for AV and comes with an analog caputre card that works fine. I bought mine for round 120 on the web, just search around.
