hi simon, we used to have a 8500av which had video capture on a 'personality' board. you could capture really jerky video about the size of a postage stamp! the other problem was it had a 1gig hd so not enough room.
i think the major problem was the processor speed so it depends what machine your running on? if it's relatively beefy, i'd suggest dumping the windows tv cards and plum for a 'my video' usb tv in: http://www.eskapelabs.com/myvideo.html seen one of these plugged into a g3 imac capturing 640x480 with sound at 25fps - not bad. at �60 (in the uk) it's a snip and a lot less hassle than trying to get a windows card to work. hth, jake > Hi All, > > Perhaps a little off topic so if people object please message > me direct. > > HAs anyone used tried or had success with any of the generic windows > tuner cards out there?
