ATI DV Wonder

[kinlunyu]

Does any one know about the capture care -- ATI DV Wonder? Is the capture better than Pinnacle Studio DV or SIIG IEEE 1394? Please advise? I plan to buy a DV capture card for importing vedio from DV camcorder.

Thanks,

ATI and ATI VE is pure crap, I bough an ATI, nothing worked, so I returned it and I bough Pinnacle dc10plus and It's worth the money or you can buy hauppauge product (Win TV) it also good and cheap too (around 70 USD).

Good luck!

I have had great success with my ATI DV Wonder. Plus, it came with a full version of Ulead VideoStudio 5.0, which will split at the 2 gig mark (I haven't tested this yet). All for only $50. Worked perfectly with the updated MS drivers. This other poster seems to be talking about the TV cards and not the DV cards.

Thanks,
Will

FYI, I'm running Win98 Second Edition.

I don't have a ATI DV, but I do have a Pinnicle Studio DV and it works great. I would highly recommend the Pinnicle hardware. I do have an ATI AIW 128 and I do like it but I have to admit that it seems that ATI goes out of its way to make crappy drivers.

I really don't know if the dv card really makes that much of a difference since its only providing a way to transfer large chunks of data to your computer. As long as it can keep up the datarate and doesn't die, it should be ok.
