Someone recently asked if it would be better to get a GF4 and a vid capture card or an AIW 8500 and the consensus was an astounding GF4/vid card combo.
My question is what's the best vidcard then that will give the same ease fo use as the AIW, I'm going to be watching TV on my CPU but it will be via a sat. connection so I don't need to actual change the channels via the cpu since there is a seperate rec. Plus, I guess I don't need a coax input since all my connections are via S-video.
Also it needs to be able to capture in Mpeg1 format so that I can make VCD's to send to my relatives.
Well that's what I need the AIW seemed to fit my specs but I just recently picked up the GF3 ti200 from gateway for $85 so I really would rather buy just the capture card instead of having to plop down the $250 thw AIw 8500 128mb is going to run me.
Any input would be great.
Thanks,
Mark
