Older ATI IMHO ain't good for the PAL users, NTSC users with wintel PCs seems to like them. About 45 Euros with remote control and windvr for realtime capturing to mpeg 2, really desent IMHO.ĪTI and Asus are good choices if you wish VGA solutions (also Matrox, if you have the money to get them). Real cheap products with real decent quality are those taiwanisse ones from Kworld, like the "mpeg 2 station" card. I'm not talking here for the latest winpvr models, but the old ones, based on bt878/etc chips.
#TV TUNER PCI CARD S VIDEO TV#
IMHO, the typical Hauppauge PCI cards (win tv go, primio fm, etc) are among the best and they are the so called standard for applications like virtualdub. I like the other way better but then you have to deal with the occassional audio sync problem which usually can't be solved otherthan redoing the capture (and if you capture from live TV that can be a problem).Īs a result I am thinking of getting the Canopus ADVC-100 or the DataVideo DAC-100 since they can capture at rock solid FPS values without audio sync problems. The second method produces good results but I know somwhere somehow TMPGEnc is either adding frames or deleting frames here or there to make the final output exactly 29.970fps and that bothers me although the stuff I've done that way does look good. I've found one method that works fairly well but not all the time 100% and another way that does seems to work 100% of the time but will often give you a final FPS that isn't dead on for the format (meaning a NTSC capture won't be exactly 29.970fps but might be ever-so-slightly lower or higher). you may have to deal with audio sync issues. There is also the AverTV Studio which is the same as the Stereo model but adds FM stereo reception. What is a good brand to purchase? I would appreciate any suggestions. Also would like to record from my tv to my computer. I'd like to purchase a PCI TV TUNER CARD so I can convert my vhs tapes to dvd media.
