Hi all, I'm sure this topic has come up a zillion times, but I thought I'd bring it to the table again. I've googled for a while and read several threads, but considering how fast things change, threads from 2002 are already obsolete.
I currently have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI card. More and more I am becoming dissatisfied with the quality of video captured by this card. Granted it's now a couple of years old. I've been looking at the WinTV PVR-250/350 because hardware mpeg2 is attractive, but this isn't the card I want to buy if the analog conversion process hasn't greatly improved since the WinTV PCI. For my purposes I'm not specifically interested in tuner capabilities, but just video input. So, another option may be a IEEE1394 Analog to DV converter. These do seem a little costly, though. I'm like to keep things sub-$200 (USD). So I thought I'd put the question out to the Freevo community: what are your recommendations on a high quality video capture card? Obviously Linux support is a must. Links to video samples would be most appreciated too -- I'm especially keen to see high-bitrate captures from the WinTV PVR-250/350.
