Hello all, I am in the market for a good AVI card/software package for the PC for a specific purpose. I want to use it (mainly) to subtitle videotapes/LDs that are in Japanese in English. I have other uses, mainly software-based ones (i.e., editing imported video images, etc.) but the main use if for subtitling. I saw an ad in PC Magazine (latest issue) for a new package from Creative Labs and MS called Video Blaster. I know the Video Blaster is an AVI card from Creative Labs, but now they are including some software: MS Video for Windows, Tempra, and Action! I was wondering: is this a suitable package for what I want to do? I have in mind using a complete script of dislogue (text) and timing it out to real-time video. Hopefully, you'd be able to time the script to run automatically, but that's nice, not necessary. Also, is the Video Blaster card a good AVI card? How good is the resolution? Is it worth it? ANY information would be very helpful, and appreciated. Later, "Crusher" Joe. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* | "Crusher" Joe Beddoe * President, Shampoo International Fan Club * | | Academic Support Guy, SFASU * Partner, Datamagic Computers | *-----------------------------*-----------------------------------------* | a_beddoerj@ccsvax.sfasu.edu * crusher@calvin.sfasu.edu | | z_beddoerj@ccsvax.sfasu.edu * NeXT mail: crusher@ccsnext.sfasu.edu | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* -- Later, "Crusher" Joe. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* | "Crusher" Joe Beddoe * President, Shampoo International Fan Club * | | Academic Support Guy, SFASU * Partner, Datamagic Computers | *-----------------------------*-----------------------------------------* | a_beddoerj@ccsvax.sfasu.edu * crusher@calvin.sfasu.edu | | z_beddoerj@ccsvax.sfasu.edu * NeXT mail: crusher@ccsnext.sfasu.edu | *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*
