Can someone explain - in words of few syllables, why there is such 
discrepancy in the cost of video capture cards? Presumably there are more 
functions on some than others, but what are those functions (not what are 
they called, but what so they do?). I've seen video capture cards offered 
for less than 100UKP, but do I have to freeze-frame my video while they 
do their stuff? I haven't the time, or ability to trail round all the 
shops comparing notes, though those I have been in seem to recommend the 
video-blaster, and when I look in the electronics magazines there seem to 
be two different versions of that. Help please, I'm getting confused.
