  1. I know, I've posted a few questions about capture cards, etc recently, but I'm still undecided.....!

    Can anyone who has knowledge of any of the following let me know their thoughts on these cards:
    - Hercules Radeon All in Wonder 7500 (presumably v similar to the Ati card)
    - MSI GMX460VT - this one does have video in, apparently via composite or s-video, via a connector provided
    - Gainward GeForce 4 Pro650XP Golden Sample

    My main concern is capture from tv and video (not sure yet if I'll capture from the composite or just plug my VCR straight in and use the SVideo), so 2d, 3d performance is not my interest here.

    It would be handy to use the tv on demand stuff, but I'm not that bothered; being able to capture to a decent quality is.

    If it helps, my system is an AMD 1.4TBird, 512Mb SDRAM, 2xIBM 40Gb UDMA 100 drives, Abit KT7A mobo (Raid, but I'm not using RAID, just as the additional drive controller).

    I've seen a review on the Ati Radeon AIW 7500 on Tom's Hardware Guide, which looks pretty impressive, but the other two are new cards, and I haven't been able to find any comparision reviews yet.

    Do any of them encode in hardware, or are they all in hardware?

    Also, do any of them allow viewing on two monitors (twin view, but with two monitors, not a monitor & a tv)

    Thanks in advance for any help.......

  2. In my experience, the AIW has always been better than the NVidia Personal Cinema for real-time MPEG captures.

  3. The NVidia Personal Cinema is based on the GForce 2 400mx card. The Gainward & the MSI cards mentioned above are on GFroce 4MX cards; do you know if they use the same hardware for capturing, as presumably they'd have similar results, though perhaps if they have more processing power they may give better results.....?
