I have been seriously looking at the Asus V7100 Deluxe to replace another video card and tuner. I was looking for an Elsa Erazor III Pro or Erazor VIVO, preferably with tuner, but I just couldn't find one. Anywhere. Since I use the 3D functionality, the Asus was my other basic choice. I think it will do everything I need, but I suspect several of these 'do it all wonders' will be appearing soon, so before I bite (and at $157 best price, it's a pretty good bite) I want to make sure it does what I think. First off; does it use the computer's sound card for capture or not? Second, how well does it's Codec integrate into Ulead MediaStudio Pro and/or VideoStudio? Or any other suggestions?
