I am looking for a card that can capture a full-size video. I was about to buy one of the top ATI AIW or Radeon series, but in one guide I saw capture settings, which seem to indicate that the size of the captured video is not full screen (640x480), but instead 352x246 was indicated, plus a few other values, also smaller than full screen.
My question is this - if I want full screen video with MPEG1 or 2, can I have it?
Are there any cards, which are sophisticated enough to have "TV-on-demand" features, and yet cannot deliver full-screen capture?
And another question, if I have the video captured and real-time encoded into MPEG1 or 2, can I find an editor, which can work directly with those formats? I need just a basic editing - cutting out certain clips and splicing smaller clips into a bigger one.
I looked through a few editors, and all of them seem to need a "raw", uncompressed digital video. Just like digital music editors need *wav and cannot handle compressed formats.
Many thanks: walter

Regarding capture card: ATI All-In-Wonder series cards have TV-On-Demand and capture resolution up to 720x480, which is DVD resolution. It is more then enough to capture with this resolution. As a matter of fact, nowadays 720x480 is the maximum resolution of capture out of all the cards. Also, just for you to know, DVD quality can be reached even with 352x480 resolution. You do not need 1024x768 video file, you need 352x480 video which you can make full screen in any player.
Regarding MPEG editor: there is a good video editor I personally admire called Cyberlink PowerDirector which accepts avi/mpeg files for video and mp3/wav files for audio. You can cut, merge, add effects and titles.
If you just need to cut and merge the files, use TMPGEnc MPEG Tools instead because it is faster and has better quality.
