Not too professional the way mwave posted bad specs...

Anyway www.us.buy.com has them for about 47 bucks + shipping. Compusa should have them for 50 bucks out the door.

Also from Hauppauge's site...


<< VGA Compatibility
All of the WinTV PCI boards work with most PCI VGA cards in 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024 with vertical refresh rates up to 125Hz. Supports color modes up to 16 million colors. The 256 color mode is not recommended, since in this mode the video image is palettized, causing color distortion.
Does not require connections to the VGA card, either internal or external. Requires that the VGA card have an updated DirectDraw driver.

I have a ati tv-wonder ve, it's a bitch to install with a radeon card, but it can be done. how do I get virtual dub

<< Once upon a midnight dreary- >>

Yes, the TV98 has stereo audio.

 

[Strych9]

How about the Pinnacle Studio PCTV Pro?

 

[GoldenTiger]

Hauppage captures @ 320x240 = too low.

PCTV Pro would be good, but it is too expensive... I need as low a price as possible. I haven't seen any reviews on the TV98... gonna look around for some of them; it's a strong contender at this point. Otherwise, I'll probably go with the TV Wonder or the TVPC Pro, but I really need price.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Bass: On buy.com, there is a TV98/FM, TV98, and TV98 Stereo... does the TV98 (plain) have stereo or not? I haven't been able to tell for sure...

[Mixxen]

Didn't I say I capture video @ 640x480 with virtual dub?

 

[Davegod75]

AIW RADEON

You can get Virtual Dub here. You might have to be in preview mode before you capture at 640x480.

Goldentiger - You don't seem to listen to a thing I said. I brought up the Hauppage idea and even showed you how to get it more than 1/2 off of staples price. Then you ask what model when I had it in the first 10 words of my post. Geez.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Syzgy: &quot;did you listen to a single word that I said&quot;? I said I need BOTH CARDS UNDER $140, LESS MONEY IS BETTER (hopefully $80 for BOTH)... the Hauppage is too expensive even after your deal.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Can anyone answer the question on whether the plain &quot;TV98&quot; has Stereo or not?? It seems perfect; if it has Stereo audio that's the best card for me .

 

[GoldenTiger]

Mwave and Buy both have the TV98 for $35 each .

 

[Ph33zy]

i do i use deinterlacing with my tv tuner? I have a wintv pvr and can't seem to get the video signal into the program..

 

[GoldenTiger]

Hm... I just realized I can PM to staples ($120 for 2 ATI TV Wonder cards), and then use a 20 off 100 coupon with free shipping, and that makes it $50 per card, definitely having stereo, plus a ton of nice features . Does the TV WONDER come with a remote??

 

[GoldenTiger]

Gonna go with the TV Wonder either way, just curious before I order .

Thanks for the help, everyone!!
