Best cards for Windows 2000, using Vub

[darkelf]

I'm putting out the feelers for recommendations on good capture cards that will run under Windows 2000.

I currently have an 8meg AIW-Pro which is wrapper limited to only VCD resolution (352x288) under Windows 2000.

Using a WDM capture utility (iuVCR mainly, as well as the buggy MMC) I can select larger resolutions. I am trying for 720x480 at least.

Are there other cards that work with VfW drivers that will allow higher capture resolutions under Windows 2000.

The ones I have looked at are mainly newer AIW cards, and the Huppauge WinTV cards.

I really enjoy using Vdub for my caps, and since most of them have been VHS archives, the resolution has not been a problem.

I would prefer a TV-capable card, but a composite/S-video only card will work as well. I have an extra VCR to do TV tuning.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your budget?

My budget is fairly modest. I would prefer to spend no more than $200.00 for a new card.

I would be willing to muddle around with a sub-$100 card if I had any indication that it would be *possible* to do acceptable-sized captures under windows 2000.

I did not know if the resolution limitation of my current setup (VCD PAL 352x288) was due to the card itself (with its age especially) or a limitation of the VfW/WDM wrapper that needs to be used for Vdub to work.

I've tried using WDM compliant DVR programs, the best I can do is 640x240 (that's with ATI's MMC proggie).

Ideally: if I can get a tuner card or just a plain composite/S-video capture card that will do DVD resolutions.

It needs to work under windows 2000.

I am extremely biased towards cards that work with VfW software (especially Vdub).

Can such a card be had in my price range?

thx in advance.
