TV Tuner cards were pretty widely available then, you'd have to hook the VCR or cable or whatever up the the computer, but still a lot easier than this to get a screenshot.
In 98? Not really. A couple years later, sure. But in 98 you’re talking about pro gear rather than consumer tech.
Things were moving pretty quickly then. Something you bought one year became superfluous the next.
ATI All-in-Wonders were around then, and there were other options too, I remember because I had one going into college in '98, owned a computer but not a TV so that was it.
I had the ATI card and ran my VCR into my PC. Probably was in 98 or 99. Thought I was gonna digitize my tapes until the storage capacity became a realization.
I had a Hauphauge WinTV Internal PCI Tuner from Walmart around then, and the first screenshot I made was the Millenium Falcon swooping down into the Death Star Trench.
