It converts the NTSC analog signal to digital frame data, which is essentially an uncompressed image. It is a frame grabber, nothing more. > Further reading on the page suggests NTSC is, in fact, MPEG2 encoded. I see the letters "MPEG" in only two places on the page, both in reference to software decoding. Cheers, Kyle
