OP
Anyone?
I think the new ATI will probably be pretty good. Look into that one.

I'm pretty unhappy in general with the Studio DC10Plus I have now. The software support is horrid and I wouldn't hold my breath for good Win2K Software. I'm going to check out the ATI cards and see how that works. The ATI AllInWonder Radeon is coming out end of August. That supports direct capture to mpeg-2 (dvd quality).
Beware of ATI's lack of driver support. I very reluctantly just dumped my TV Wonder for a WinTV. Even their flagship All In Wonder only has beta drivers and MMC 7.0 that causes folks a LOT of problems when it comes to the TV feature.

I was thinking that the DC10+ work only in Windows 98 not Windows 2000. Accrording to Pinnacle only the DC30+ work under Win2000 or NT.
>That supports direct capture to mpeg-2 (dvd quality).
Yes, that's exactly what I need.
>I very reluctantly just dumped my TV Wonder for a WinTV.
WinTV supports only lowres capture, no mpeg right ?

WinTV supports only lowres capture 320x240 max, yes that rigth no soft nor hardware mpeg so 3rd party app like PowerVCR or WinVCR.
But later this yrs Hauppauge has MPEG card come out.
Hauppague promises that the WinTV-PVR (personal video recorder) will offer real-time hardware MPEG2 encoding of video from a built-in TV tuner, along with the ability to burn the MPEG2 back out to a CD-R, all for $250.
Other then that you be spend as much $1000 to $1500 for DVD quality "720x576" capture card.
