Dscaler

for your software driver..it produces a better image than the ATI software (i have the same tv card)

also, there is a nifty program called
VeedubP4
which is a great video recording program

these programs are superior to the ATI software, and fully compatible with your card...

Great recommendation's

Oh wow! The picture is much better with DScaler, however, the UI isn't up to par with ATi's.

How come it doesn't work with my ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon.

Bump for assistance!

I had the ATi TV Wonder Retail not the VE and I didn't like the picture quality so I got the Leadtek Deluxe XP from newegg and its great. The Asus TV card is suppose to be better but I dont want to buy another TV Card.

I don't know but here's a bump for ya. Dscaler is awesome, but its designed for the 848/878 chips which most tv cards have...I don't know what chip is on those cards tho.

get a hdtv card if you can afford ~200 dollars. cheapest hdtv solution out there, and the quality is amazing from what i've seen. you look at your normal tuners output and its pathetic compared

another neat trick with the ati tv tuner card you have is that it accepts video in from an outside source such as a VCR, or camcorder....

you can use the tv tuner card as a super cheap video capture device for sucking your analog video into your computer (hence the real utility of veedubp4 in my opinion)!

$20-$40 dollars (the price of the ati tv card depending on rebates) is the CHEAPEST video
capture device i've ever heard of!
