Thx for the link SHS, now im not looking at the wintv PVR pci card, im looking at the wintv PVR USB which I know has drivers for win2k already. Compusa has it for $199.00 is that a good price?
Would the Provideo PV-256 PCI be a better choice? I think that is $150.00

$199.00 that is a good price but far I know USB drivers for Windows2000 support is under development.
Hell for $10 more why not go for the PV256T PCI MPEG II Card w/TV Tuner+Remote Control at S$160.
I don't know which will be better.

I just got an email from provideo. they dont have any branches in the us yet just tawain but I could order directly from them. hmm wonder how support would be if I have to ship it to tawain
I think the PV-256 looks great, now is it overkill for me? i am not looking to do professional video editing per se, I just want to capture video off vcr or TV or my camcorder and make VCDs for family distribution and for viewing at home. maybe burn some TV shows to cd also. Would the PV-256 work well for that?
Lucky you all I ever get is
