Anyone have thoughts on This TV tuner Card from Asus?
It uses Conextent's newest CX23880 Decoder with 10bit Video ADC's which are said to capture near DVD video quality with a good Satellite or cable feed. It's max capture resolution is 720x480, so that should look very nice on a PC monitor.
It comes bundled with Power VCR II which will alow time shifting, instant replay and recording for posterity. Also included is Power DVD (Asus), Cyberlinks Power Director 2.0 and Multimedia Show. The hardware comes with a break out box dongle that provides S-Video and composite in for capture from Camcorders or other external sources.
The Asus is also one of the only ones I have seen that claims Stereo support for the Conextent chip. I had actually orderd the MSI TV@nywhere card that uses the same CX23880 chip, however it's been stated buy some useres that it does not support NTSC stereo at this time. I then canceled that card and may order the Asus.
Basically what I want to do is Capture TV programs, well actually I want to capture the Star Trek Voyager series and then burn them to VCD to be played back on my DVD player.
Currently I can't find the Asus in Canada, but I have a buddy of mine in the states ordering one for me.
Any suggestions on what I should do to obtain my objectives?
