i have a Compro Videomate Gold ...
one of the best new cards out there according to alot of reviews
to test i recorded a small movie using the following options


everything went perfect, good qwality, but the sound was still delayed ... but only when using a different player as the recorder ....
for converting to xvid (to check out the qwality) i used this guide wich i hoped that was the good one (Mpeg2->Xvid)

and i also wanted to ask what was the best for cutting out the commercials (i used "Womble MPEG Editor"

thx for your help in advance
