[double07]

want to download a mpg1, mpg2, or avi movie and want to watch it on my tv. what is the best video card for the money? must have rca jacks to plug into my tv.
also, would it show a movie, full screen?

best for the money eh?? Oxygen Labs, they make professional video editing cards, they go for around $1000 but you can get an older model for bout 400 ( these prices are in CDN$'s)

what i meant was, the best card for the least amount of money. also i have a AMD-k6 3d processor

[nightwing7]

i would say ATI Radeon All in wonder or Geforce 2GTS, both are good cards but, ATI has more features ( although it does have intitial driver problems, now that are hopefully fixed)

was looking at an ATI RADEON 32mb card at walmart, has s-video out. if i was to use this i would need a long s-video cable, do they make long long s-video cables?
is this card any good?

[double07]

this card at walmart is only $127.00
is it worth it?

ya i have a long S-video cable, about 12 feet long, but u can get longer, which Radeon is it, there is a bunch of em out there, they are all generally good but i personally like the All in wonder

[double07]

i believe its the ATI radeon ve apg
best buy has it for $85.50

[double07]

would it show a full screen picture on my tv from a movie downloaded in mpeg or avi format?

[nightwing7]

its a decent card, i think it supports 2 monitors. Im pretty sure it has good TV out quality. But if you want raw 3D power for gaming, i suggest you pay a little more and get a higher end card or just wait for the next gen Radeon2

Just one thing to remember ... ATI & Macrovision!! Not a winning combination.
