First, thank you all so much for the information. I have learned plenty by reading the posts here. Now on to my issue. I have an ATI TV Wonder VE card, and it works fine in my 2 GHz Windows XP computer with 512 MB DDR. BUT...I have a quality issue. The VE will only capture at resolutions of 640 x 240 or lower. It will use the MPEG-2 format, and I have TMPGEnc and VCD Easy, and have made some wonderful VCDs of my MST3K episodes, but the video is still just a bit fuzzy. It's not so much pixelated as just low resolution because of the original vidcap size. It also seems to make matters much worse if I raise the color or contrast bars in teh video settings. The result is video that's just a bit dark and washed-out looking. I bought Dazzle's Movie Studio 5, but it doesn't recognize the card. I want to know if there's a decent program out there that will use the TV Wonder VE and capture in MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 at 704 x 480 or even 640 x 480.
Alternatively, if there is an easy way to use the software that came with the VE that will make my vidcaps sharper, that would be fine. Thanks again.

Here are a list of capture apps (under DVR and Video Capture Apps):

I've heard good things about the quality of WinDVR (latest version called WinDVD Recorder). This one is supposed to have good quality MPEG encodes and is less likely to have unsynced audio video.
Download a few and try them out. They should give you more capture options than ATI's default app, hopefully.
