- 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.
