Are there any video capturing cards for PC out there that supports timecode (VITC and/or LTC)? Capture from video source and/or editing functionality? Output?

From Adam Wilt DV FAQ:
Unfortunately, some current DV NLEs do not capture timecode into the clips stored on disk. This is not a hardware problem, it's a problem with the capture programs used by these editors. As the market matures, expect the software to gain this capability (and if it doesn't, ask your NLE vendor why not).

The 2.00 and later software releases for DPS Spark (PC) do capture timecode, as does Pinnacle/Miro version 1.6 software. The Canopus plug-ins for Premiere 5.1 (PC) capture timecode, though the stand-alone Canopus tools do not. Timecode capture is present in ProMax's FireMAX (Mac) and Apple's Final Cut Pro (Mac, of course!).
