    Which set offers better quality of MPEG capturing? ATI All-In-Wonders or Hauppauge WinTV's?

    About the same.

    I think Hauppauge can be a little softer on the 352x480 than it should be, but it's otherwise fine.

    ATI can sometimes have a little more noise. It also requires a tad more bitrate than the Hauppage to get similar quality, maybe 500k or so, not much.

    I'm sure you'd be happy with either of them. I prefer the ATI because it does AVI, and the VideoSoap filters can be useful.

    ...and I prefer Hauppage, as it's 100% hardware encoding (your CPU is free for other tasks whilke capturing) as opposed to ATI's "hardware assisted" encoding.
