Analogue Video conversion + Wireless Q's

[Tyre Smoke]

1.Can anyone let me know where I can buy a package that I can plug my analogue video camera into and convert into DVD or digital images on my PC?

Cost? Where? How easy to install/use?


2. My wireless (Linksys) stuff seems to have poor range in my house - transmitter is upstairs behind stud wall in office, Laptop is downstairs with no 'direct line of sight' in conservatory behind double glazed patio doors. Where can I buy a 'booster' for the signal? and again cost? Where? How easy to intall/use?

3. Need to 'photoshop' some of my digital photos (enhance colours, reduce redeye,etc). Is photoshop the best/cheapest software to get or are there any other recommendations?


Thanks all. I'm not all that techie, so sorry if this is a bit simplistic :boxedin:

Can't offer much with the video stuff, but for some good info on your wireless problems take a look here.

Aldi/Tevion are doing a "magic box" that plugs into your video/camcorder and pc just for that purpose.

If you can get past the brand label, they are doing it for £34.99 with everything you need.

Paint Shop Pro is a lot cheaper than Photoshop, and has similar functionality for the type of image stuff you mention (red eye reduction etc)
