I have a Dazzle DVC II for sale, if you are interested.

[aznguy]

how much??? i guess the quality isn't that great either huh?
i heard some stuff about it.

Price? How's $160 sound, s/h included?

The DVC II is a nice piece of hardware, I just haven't used it since I picked up my Sony DVMC-DA1 media converter.

The DVC II captures video to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 formats in real time. The VCD standard MPEG-1 captures are so-so, but the higher bitrate MPEG-2 captures are very nice. Capture, remux (I remux everything to be safe), and burn to CDR.... that's it.

If you're interested, check out this site which has a compatibility list on it. Some motherboards/chipsets do not PCI busmaster correctly and the DVC II won't work with them.

aznguy - what's your computer's processor speed? the quality probably sucks because you have a slow processor, making you capture at low resolutions. both of those capture devices you have should capture at great quality. :P

[aznguy]

it's not my computer...

1.4 Athlon 512DDR
Geforce2 Pro 64DDR
3 HD ( 80GB 7200RPM, 120GB 5400RPM, 40GB 7200RPM)

hmm, and you have DMA enabled on your hard drive?

[aznguy]

yes, dma is enable...and i tried disable before too.
so what is everyone overall capture card experience!!!
