Very similar chips, but not exactly the same. Both have the Conexant cx23416 mpeg2 encoder, but some of the other chips on the card differ. > > Will it work the same as a "real" Haupage card?

I believe all the versions sold to the Japanese market do have the GYC components though. Cards sold into other markets eliminate them, because some of the functionality is specific to the NTSC-J TV standard. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got a question?
