Shamal Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) I'm in the market to buy a TV Capture card to turn all my videos on my camcorder into DVD. It only has S-Video & Analog output. Im unsure as to which TV card has those as inputs. I also require the best quality I can get from my existing devices.And also im after a DVD ROM so I can Read DVDs at maximum speed and rip to my HDD. But all the once I've owned only says 16X but never really gets anywhere near it. MY DVD-RW gets around 7.5x but thats about the most I've ever had. I need one that does what it says it does!!!Can you please recommend the following to meet my needs;1. TV Capture Card2. DVD ROMI have no set budget and is willing to pay whatever it costs.The following are my PC specs;AMD X2 4200 (2.51Ghz) OCASUS A8NE Ultra MotherboardRadeon X800XT Platinum EditionOCZ 2GB RAM480GB HDDThanks in advance for all you're guys inputs!

Shamal Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 1. anything by hauppauge2. nec 3550Thanks for your opinion 'ripken204'!I have never come across hauppauge products before. As I need either RCA or S-Video inputs, I think I need to get WinTV-PVR-150. 1. Must I have Windows Media Center Edition to use the card?2. Any alternative brands like 'Leadtek - TV200 Expert' any good? Cos hauppauge seems to be expensive in Australia?Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 you do not need MCE to play tv, but if you use the normal windows xp then you will need to get a program for watching tv, as MCE includes a program for that.as for alternate brands, im not too sure. ive done my research and hauppauge is the best. maybe an ati tv tuner? i rly dont know.
