POLL: which ATI capture card do you have?

[lordsmurf]

Just curious.

I've got two 7200 cards (known as the ATI AIW 32MB DDR at the time).

If I've forgotten one, let me know

[macleod]

before I got my standalone recorder (panny E30), I used the ati tv wonder pci card (not the ve). It did a good job. Since getting the dvd recorder, however, it is gathering dust in my pc.

[Bodyslide]

I still am using the original AIW 32 mb card and love it. One day I'll buy a newer card.

[freebird73717]

I use the 128 pro and have no problems. Just took awhile to find the right driver\mmc comination to get it to work right.

I have an AIW 7500, before that I used an AIW Pro 4MB card (remember those?). This was before the Theatre chip, I think it had a Brooktree chip.

I still use AIW Radeon 7200, but I have 8500 on my other box.
And I had every AIW card model for at least a week to play with

I know for sure All-in-Wonder (not Pro) had 4MB? I may be wrong, coz something rings a bell about memory upgrade chips, perhaps there was some line of PCI version AIW Pro with just 4MB? Im rather sure AGP versions of AIW Pro had 8MB, I had AIW Pro (PCI) with 8MB as well.
Who cares anyway

[Larry15]

I had the PCI version. It had 4MB built-in and a connector for a whopping 4MB more!

[jobedo1]

i have 2 128s and 1 radeon

[indolikaa]

Mee-sa have two 9000 Pros. You-sa did not include 9000 Pro in your poll. You-sa only include puny 9000.

Mee-sa feelings hurt. Mee-sa gonna go take anger out on newbie posters in HDD thread now.

I dont' believe there is a difference in the capturing between the 9000 and the 9000 Pro, only the graphics chip is different.

[indolikaa]

I think you're right, Lan. I just like to poke at LordSmurf sometimes. That's all.

[tigerman8u]

i got the aiw 9000 pro last week so still experimenting with it

[dun4cheap]

I have 3 ATI Rage pro card running 4 security cameras off each one. I also have 1 ATI PC Wonder pro, 1 AIW 7500 and 1 AIW 9000. I also purchase an ADS Tech AV Link and only use my AIW 9000 for PVR.

[pijetro]

The 64mb DDR VIVO card was one of the best things i could have bought. Check the capture cards on the left hand side, and I'll be darned if you'll find a hard complaint.
I don't understand how such a cheaply priced, and high performing card didn't get more popular than it did?? That being said, how is it that the latest ATI cards come with such a huge price jump compared to this little wonder??

[Nelson37]

128, 128 pro, and 7500. You left out my first one, the 3d expression plus PC2TV card.

[mastersmurfie]

I still use the "old" AIW 128 32MB...no probs at all...still waiting to see if I can use newest MMC with it...

[almostaborted]

aiw 7200...it rocks

[PolarBearWY]

I've got two 7200 cards

Did you vote twice?

[Rookie64]

3 computers with ATI cards -

AIW 7500 VE (PCI) on WinXP

AIW Pro Bt829 (AGP) on WinME

AIW Pro 8M (PCI) on Win98

[lordsmurf]

I just did it on the "128PRO" card ... it all depends on whether your capture chip is the "RAGE THEATRE" chip, as MMC 8.x will fail if not detected.

It requires hacking, and I'll have guides on that at my site later this month. It was a little 13-hour experiment of mine .. though I think I only spend 9 hours actually tinkering with it.

Did you vote twice?

Nah, I only voted once... don't know how to vote twice.. maybe if I logout as guest it'll let me do it.

You left out my first one, the 3d expression plus PC2TV card.

Alright, add the last option for older relics. However, we reserve the right to make fun of those using cards that have outlasted computers, houses, wives, cars, whatever. :P

I have an ATI AIW 128 Pro, and the pictures are pretty crap. It won't display proper PAL images but some bastardised NTSC soft focus, dodgy colour, low resolution thing! You think its oK until you see a real PAL image displayed. Even passthough TV signals from a DV cam via firewire would blow it out of the water. And the TV out doesn't fill the screen either! Other than that, it's a wonderful item! I also have a Matrox Millennium card and it is so much better for TV out - absolutely no comparison. I wouldn't recommend ATI to anyone in PAL land.

AIW 9800
