I wouldn't waste my money on either of them. Search eBay for a deal on a tuner card with a BT chipset. I bought another (used) one a few weeks ago for ten bucks, shipping included.

Respectfully - NO YOU DON'T.
Not unless you want to come back here and complain about poor "quality".

The ATi A.I.W has good reviews from most here. I don't use one but I am sure there are many here who can help.

Better than what?

I don't think the Snazzle product you mention is truely a hardware encoder.

A couple of reviews said you need a lot of horsepower to do direct MPEG-2 DVD spec captures.

My guess is that it might be a hardware DV converter but not a full time hardware MPEG-1/MPEG-2 converter.

The Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 is a full hardware MPEG-1/MPEG-2 encoder and will work on a PIII ... even a fast PII with proper amount of RAM

So I don't don't trust it (i.e., the Snazzle).

As for the Dazzle product ... well I've heard mostly poor things about that as well.

If you want a full hardware MPEG-1/MPEG-2 capture device your best bet is the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 which is not perfect but really is the best in the money range you are looking at. You can order it on-line for around $125 to $130 USD

farshaddashti - these guys here are just trying to give you some good advice. do some research for a few hours on the products you mention and you will find that those suggestions come from the end result of many who have come before you using those products. So instead of just trying to save yourself a little time by finding out a quick answer to which is 'better' you may actually save yourself a whole bunch of time by considering why they said what they said. Good luck..

the older dazzle dvc 2 (pci card version) was pretty nice (and worked flawlessly with a tbc), but as things go, that version is no longer made anymore, but you can capture straight to mpeg 2 and it does a very nice job.
