I don't think that it is a good idea: if I must acquire from an analog camcorder, I don't think that the double passage (from analog to digital and after acquire) can be a good compromise: the acquiring (and the DV camera with S-Video input are very expensive) is in real time. That means to use 2 hours to have a 1 hour video (ok that you can save the DV cassettes easier than dv Super 8 but...). The encoding of the DV camera cannot be good as a computer encoding (that has more power). I found a list of the TV cards (I need it to look TV too) in Internet and yesterday I said one of them in a shop (I didn't know who it was Linux compatible).
