Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote about HuffYUV some posts back.
Pinnacle Studio v12 (not sure about other versions) does DV, MJPEG and various levels of MPEG-2 and MPEG-1. High quality capturing is still possible, using those settings, without HuffYUV.
However, HuffYUV capturing should still be possible with an alternative freeware or low-cost option. I'm looking into those now.
The "old"
guide on video capturing AVI with iuVCR still applies, so I'm running some tests with the updated version of it. See
http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/vid...-avi-iuvcr.htm
I'll add it into the work queue for testing.
If you want a faster test and guide update,
upgrade to a Premium Member and I'll do it this coming week instead of 3-6 weeks from now.
Yes, your computer is plenty fast. I was doing similar capturing 8+ years ago, and your current specs far exceed what was top-of-the-line then. No problems at that time, either. Just follow all the instructions on the
preventing dropped frames guide at

HuffYUV is about 30GB/hour, I believe. DV is 13, uncompressed is 75, HuffYUV is somewhere in the middle, forget the number off top of my head (would need to refer back to notes).
