decorder card vs video card with tv out
what are the advantages/dsadvantages of each.

I need a card that has tv out and can be hooked up to a 16 x dvd rom pioneer.

i was not planning on using it for gaming, cuz i cannot find a pci graphic card with dvd-out and dvd decoding (does one exsist).

also it needs to be pci cuz that the only slot my mobo has. please advise.

i need it to have a crisp picture on my television... and the ability to support widescreen if that is an option.


I was think of using a Extigy to bypass the onboard sound on my mobo, but i dont know if there is a better external sound card to use for movie? suggestions?
