Older "all in wonder" versus Wonder VE for 720X576

[keithm]

Hi: I currently use a Matrox Marvel for video capture but it has a non standard capture resolution of 704x576 (pal): so if I want to capture for DVD I have to resize the capture-which takes time. Will either the older (non radion) all in wonder 32 or the All in wonder VE capture in real time mpeg 2 at a resolution of 720x576? I ask about the older all in wonder because these are tuning up quite cheap

You can still use 704x576. Most authoring packages accept it.

Are you saying I can use a 704x576 mpegs 2 for dvd? or that most authoring programs will convert it before creating the DVD

Cheers

Hi,
I use an AIW 128pro w/32 meg on board. agp to capture all res. inc 720x576 for dvd quality with NO frame drops. (all scsi subsystem). Capture using MMC or Ulead DVD MovieFactory. Recommend using MMC7.5 or 7.6 and Stinky's reg tool to fine tune the settings.
They're a great card for the price and I've no reservations recommending them.
