I saw the new capture card from Snazzi
http://www.snazzi.com/snazzisite/html/snazziAVDV.html
they said it can do DV to MPEG real time hardware encoding
Really ?
Can anyone tell it's true or it's just a Snzzi III DVC + 1394 Card ?
Thanks in advance

Hard to say - they don't list it at www.snazzishop.com so getting one or seeing real prices will be difficult for those in the US

Well, I read the description and they do indeed claim it is hardware encoding to MPEG-1/2 via a firewire transfer of DV. But, near the bottom they indicate what sort of processor power is required for DV to MPEG conversion and you need a pretty decent P4 to do DV to MPEG-2. This doesn't sound like hardware encoding to me. This appears to be another handwaving smoke screen Dazzle/Snazzi move to confuse the public to get their money. I was excited at first, now I'm just rolling my eyes.

That's why I post this tread, I wonder it can really capture DV to MPEG2 in real time, I also read their data sheet and say it require a P4 1.4G to do this job. strange?
Hope to hear someone have this card and tell us the real beef. -
No it can't if the system spec where a lot lower more like PII 300 then it would be a yes.
This only apply to DV capturing. -

It most definately says it does it in real time via hardware. Copied directly from the link provided:
"DV to MPEG real time hardware encoding."
I don't believe it for a second. -
I finally figure it out, this card just a SNAZZI III + 1394
Why?
please check Cyberlink's PowerDirector system requirement, and it's DV to MPEG2 must equipe a P4 1.4, same as this card
http://www.cyberlink.com.tw/chinese/product/powerdirector/system_requirement.jsp (sorry only chinese)
So I have nothing much to say -
Here the english system requirement for PowerDirector

Oh Yes, it uses hardware for MPEG-2 conversion. That piece of hardware is the Pentium 4, 1.4 Ghz min !
