Cyberlink powervcr2 converts video or tv into mpeg in real time eliminating the need to convert into avi then mpeg to make a vcd. By doing this, does quaility get sacrificed, and is it really advantageous? Anyone tried it? What's a good capture program if this sux? Thanks in advance.

Extra credit: I'm doing a lot of research into making vcds. And gathering info as I go. If I may, which is better a ati all in wonder pro 8mb or a ati rage fury pro 32mb. The rage fury does not have the tv tuner card. I'm looking for the under $100 range.
