ATI AIW v Belkin F5U228

[devdeep]

Which is better for DVD capture please?

I have a ATI 128 AIW Pro 32mb using MMC 8.7. Will I benifit by purchasing the Belkin cable and use it's USB 2 please?

I've never used the Belkin but I checked the manual at their website -- I don't really see that it has any advantage over your current setup, unless you like having an external device. Unless I'm missing something, the Belkin does not have a hardware mpeg-2 encoder so it's pretty much doing the exact same thing your current card is doing -- only you're paying an additional $90 US for the privilage.

Are you looking for an external capture device in particular? Do you want a hardware encoder? Unless you're looking for a hardware encoder I think your current setup sounds pretty good; let us know your particular needs and interests and we can probably help more!
