Capture - Inputs - Outputs

[GDOK]

I am looking for a capture card that has the following:
SVIDEO IN
RCA L (left) Audio IN
RCA R (right) Audio IN

I have been looking at pictures and descriptions on the MFG's sites, but can't totally tell..... so i thought I would ask some of you as card owners.

Also are there any with optical in?

Thanks!

Quite a few have SVHS in but I don't know of any (Probably are some), that have audio in. That is usually handled by the sound card.

Any ATI All-in-Wonder card has the stereo RCA inputs. Many soundcards also offer optical input, but for most this is usable for PCM only. If you want do record AC-3 directly there is a very limited selection of cards which will do this.

I should have also said that I have no AGP slot so I am strictly looking for a PCI card.

I tried a pinnacle card, but using the coax the picture was a bit fuzzy compared to svideo.

That is why I am looking for a card with svideo and rca's (for sound). That way coming out of my DTV receiver I can take the video through svideo and the sound through the RCA's.

Doesn't sound like there is a card out there that meets my needs...huh?

You could probably do a search on Ebay and find several ATI All-in-Wonder PCI cards. I used one of the older 128 PRO cards for a long time till I upgraded my mobo to one with an AGP slot...and I still use an All-in-Wonder with this system...

Hi,

The Canopus ADVC 50 and 100 has what you are looking for. My ADVC50 has RCA, svideo and DV inputs. But the Canopus range are a bit more expensive then others, i guess

Cheers,

the AverMedia DVD EZMaker card I use has composite and S-video input, but no audio inputs - audio is handled by the sound card.

still, a decent card on the cheap cheap...
