I have 2 questions

Just now I got my pc assembled one week back... at that time i couldn't get my videocard I was looking for ..ie. Asus V7700 Delux with tv-tuner...my pc is now running with a very old video card (some 3 yrs old)... So i have another chance to pick up my video card.. Even though I have a separate tv i would like to have tv-out/in and tuning features..
1.Could any one suggest a video card for me?( I am more in making mpeg files by capturing through firewire)
2.I recently downloaded TmpGenc to convert avi video files to mpeg format to save space.The program work fine for some cases but all of a sudden it crashes (in fact very frequently) and even in some cases it forces me to restart the system. Could any one help me in solving this problem...or is there any other good prog's available?

^ nice system BTW :D

I would recommend one of ATIs all in wonder series of cards. If you don't want to shell out the dough for one of those puppies then pickup a Radeon of some sort with tv out/in. Or if you're really looking to get rid of some cash get a GeForce 3 with DVI out and tv in/out. ;)
