Raptor vs. PYRO

After considering the advice on this boardand THG, I have decided to go with a stand alone capture card. I want to use the card to capture home movies from my Sony DV Camcorder and burn them to CD/DVD. I want something that will allow me to use MPEG2 and hopefully MPEG4. Of course I want great quality and stability, but I can't afford to spend a great deal. Two cards that have been recommended are the Canopus DV Raptor and the ADS PYRO ProDV. Can anyone compare and contrast these in term of performance and features? The Pinnacle DV200 has also been suggested, but given the articles on THG about other Pinnacle board's stability and ease of use, it seems this would be too difficult for a newbie. Also, are there any other cards you might suggest in this pricerange? I plan on using this with a VIA 266a MB and RAID array. Thanks.😎
