Video capture choice

[downhiller80]

Should I get a winTV PVR PCI or some sort ATI product?

I have 2 graphics cards so if I got the ATI it could replace my voodoo3 3000, otherwise I have to run the winTV as a 3rd card. But this isn't the issue, which has the highest quality capture?

I use an AIW radeon and I like it.
If you want to replace that V3 the AIW radeon is a good choice, mine still plays all games just fine, but if you want good gaming, the AIW 8500 might be a good (if not more costly) choice.

I would get an ati AIW card....If you are running win98se or winme (not sure in winxp support is wrorking yet) you could always pick up a tv wonder for around 50 bucks...It has a tv tuner, capture in mpeg1 & 2, and avis, plus it has Video in option...

Maybe a AIW 7500 would be a better value..the aiw 8500 is like 300 plus I believe..

Do ALL of the ati all-in-wonder\TV products use the came capture\mpeg chips or are some of the newer models better?

I think the 7500 uses the same as on the older AIW radeon...I think the 8500 may use a newer chip, but you better check out ati's website for sure....
