Hi. I am looking to buy a new capture card. I went to compUSA and the guy said the best capture card they had was an AllInWonder128, "especially for a Pentium3". Does anybody else have this, and is it a good deal to get it for $150 bucks? That's what they had it for. Could i see a sample movie of it at it's highest resolution? |

the ati all-in-wonder 128 is okay if you're only willing to pay about 150. To see a file at it's highest resolution, the quality will be pretty similar to others in that 640x480 will look pretty similar to any other 640x480 file. Any miniscule differences in quality would depend on the computer and codec used. The main problem about the 128 would be the size...compression isn't as good as you could get. Try to dish out some more and get pinnacle dc10 +, it's in the early 200's i think. It captures to mjpeg which is good for compression, quality, and editing. As stated in an earlier post, it's not the best, but for the price... |

Thanks for the reply. I also saw a video wonder that is coming out from ati soon. The thing is, i already have a great 32 meg card and i don't want to be paying for a graphics accelerator when i am looking for a graphics card. |

I use to own that card, I would NOT get it!!! It is about the worst card I have ever used, the drivers suck (they screw up your file allocation table), and many other things, the video is bad and the frsme rate sux! I have a PIII 600 Mhz system, with 500 mb of ram, and a RAID 5 hard drive, so if it was bad on mine, think about how bad it would be on yours!

Thanks for the reply. What card do you use? How much does it cost? What resolution is it? |

601 Digital I/O Module (Standard):
Video and Key Inputs (Per Channel):
2 SMPTE Serial Digital Video, BNC 75-ohm terminated
or
1 SMPTE Serial Digital Video, BNC 75-ohm terminated and 1 SMPTE Serial Digital Key, BNC 75-ohm terminated Video and Key Outputs (Per Channel):
1 SMPTE Serial Digital program video
1 SMPTE Serial Digital key , BNC 75-ohm terminated
External Reference loop:
1V p-p analog black burst or composite video high impedance loop-through It produces full res brodcast quality video capible of 6 x 9 aspect, it runs around $6000,00. I would go for the Miro DC 30 + it also produces full res vido for about $800.00 | |
