How to Capture Analog to Computer Newbie Question?
Hey guys, yet another newbie..

but i have an analog connection from my ps2, and i want to capture it on my computer, and burn it to a CD only to view it as a movie only on my computer (no dvd involved)...my questions are

1) does the video capture card type really matter in quality or is 30fps and 640 resolution okay?
2) do i need an expensive program for it?
3) what will should i record it as? (mpeg, avi, divx) and how?
4) how much space will it take? (like MB per minute?
how long will it take?
5) anything else..

thanks guys so much
