Steve,
Thanks. So does this pretty much wipe out your system,
or can you still do other things. The system I am hoping to do use is a PII 550
Xeon, 384 MB Ram, UltraSCSI LVD with two 9 GB Seagate drives.
The drives are plenty fast enough ( I have gotten transfer rates of 60+ MB/sec).
My concern is the speed of the processor. I have been playing with video capture
at work on a P3 733, had that machine gets a little bogged down, but I have been
trying to do video and audio compression at the same time as the
capture.

It was the Matrox Marvel g450 etv. [shamefacedly] I'm running in a win2k
environment for compatibility with Adobe Premiere.
I got a Gigabyte GA-7DXR+ mb. It has an ATA-133 drive controller builtin.
The faster the hard drive the better for recordings. The AMD 1.4 g Athlon
processor seems to keep up ok. I get no dropped frames in 702x480 mode.

Steve,
Which Matrox card did you buy? Also are you using this with Windows or Linux? I have been wanting to put together a Linux box to act as a digital video recorder, and would love to hear any details (software, hardware, etc.). I have even got a PC just waiting to be butchered, though I am not sure if it will have enough punch.

I recently purchased a Matrox tv tuner card which gives one many of the
features of Tivo (recording shows, instant replay, timed recordings, etc.).
I'm very happy with image quality and stability. It can produce a 702x480
image which is about as good as you can get without moving into HDTV.
It stores a minute of video into about 65mb. Resulting video files can be
imported into non-linear video editing programs such as Adobe Premiere.
