Hi,
I have a newbie question. I want to capture my fav tv shows. I need to know which of mine comp would be better for this purpose.
The Laptop is 650 mhz w/128 mb and 10 gig hd w/ usb tv wonder
The Desktop is 550 mhz w/191 mb and 13 gig hd w/pci tv wonder
Both hard drives have about 75 % free space. The AIW card is not an option on the desktop. My husband uses it and has a brand new video card in it. I haven't been threat with death of my laptop if I replace his video card. :}
thanks for the help.

In a nutshell - NEITHER - get a VCR
Laptop - 75% of 10GB = 7.5 Gb = not enough space for decent quality, processor may handle Mjpeg or even Divix (mpeg4 hack) real time compression at a low resolution but the results will not be worth the effort. Captures will need to be in 352*240 or ever smaller frame sizes for 1 hour shows.
Desktop - "as above"
