Help in capturing with Hauppage WinTV card

[El Duderino]

I have got a Hauppage WinTV card, but I am trying to figure out the best way to capture from TV. I have tried various capture software, but nothing seems to do what I want to do - capture from TV for burning to DVD at a decent quality.
Ulead Video Studio won't let me capture at resolutions above 352x288, even if I set it to capture at 720x576 it captures at the lower resolution and then blows it up on export giving poor picture quality.
Adobe Premiere seems to have a problem synching audio and video - It starts off being in synch then gets more and more out of whack the longer I capture (only 2 frames were dropped over the whole 50min capture).
The WinTV2000 bundled software seems to either give really low quality (with whatever codec I try) or drops 1000's of frames when uncompressed.
My system is a AMDXP 1.8GHz, 512Mb DDR RAM - surely this should be good enough to capture at a decent rate?
I did have a ATI AIW Radeon, which captured beautifully in MP2 format, but I bought a high-end graphics card (9700Pro) so I had to take it out.
Is there anyway I can still use the capture device on this card ONLY (it's a PCI card) and use my 9700Pro?

Hope I didn't bore you guys too much.

I don't see any reason why you should not be able to have two graphics cards in the same box. Windows supports it, and if you put a monitor on the second card windows will use it as extra desktop area. There is one note of caution here though - I had some trouble downgrading from one version of an ATI card to another once, and I was quite sure that what had happened was that some of the dll's provided by ATI were card specific instead of being multifunction. So - you might have a software conflict with two incompatable sets of ATI software on your system.

When I had an old Hauppage WinTV card in my system I captured to DivX with no dropped frames. Their newest software will use any codec that you have installed.
