I already had some disappointing results with the WinTV PVR and the Matrox G450eTV, although the problems might be caused by the rather slow system I have, based on P3-500Mhz.
I now consider upgrading to a P4-1,8 or 2.0Ghz but I am still in doubt which capture card to buy, again one of the already tried, or another one e.g. the AIW Radeon 8500 or 7500 (Hercules 3D Prophet).
The things I would like to do are capturing TV and storing it on cd in svcd quality and transferring vhs recordings to cd, also as svcd and all that with good synch results and with good video quality.
My OS is Windows 98SE.
Are the AIW Radeon 8500 or 7500 worth considering and if so which one should I buy ? Do they both work well under Windows 98SE ? (Hercules says Windows ME or 2000 is required). Or are there better options ?
I would appreciate it to hear some opnions.
TIA
