    newbie question. i convert a lot of video files. does a better video card make the conversion faster? or it's totally depended on the cpu/ram?

    A better video capture card may improve the quality, but that type of capturing is mostly very CPU intensive. A fast CPU is the main item. Fast memory and hard drives also help. This would also depend on the capture codec used.

    I am assuming you are talking about a video capture card. If it's not a capture card, then it really isn't in the equation.

    Then it won't help. Some cards do have hardware mpeg decoding and even encoding chips built-in, which may help with some conversions, but certainly not what you are doing.
