ATI video card with Hauppauge 250 PRV?
I read in a post about the Hauppauge
WinTV PVR 350 being a waste of money (video out feature) when compared to the 250, (no video out). I'm about to buy one or the other and have a question about the video out on the 350. My video card is a "Power Color" and says powered by, "ATI Radeon 9000 PRO Evil Commando" 128mg DDR. The video card has "video out" and works well with the VCR and TV, but does one have to choose between the monitor and the TV? I want to be able to watch TV, or previously recorded programs on TV through the capture card and still be able to surf the web on my monitor at the same time. Will the "video out" on my video card let me do that, or should I buy the video capture card with the "video out"? Thanks. |

Your post is a little bit confusing. Here's what I have:
Gigabyte 9600XT video card Hauppauge WinTV card .... one of the older ones. I have cable TV into the WinTV card, and I can watch TV on my video monitor. I don't have a second monitor. I can also capture video into the Hauppauge card, or input VCR, camera, etc ... and display any of that both while capturing, and later in AVI or mpg format. I use a program avi2mpg.exe to compress the AVI , and I also downloaded a direct to mpg capture program from Hauppauge that compresses AVI 33 times. I have video out on both cards .. either TV or monitor .. for a 2nd monitor. Someday, if prices and quality improve on those big screen LCD monitors, I have dreams of putting one up on the wall for DVD movies. Right now, I play DVD on my 19 inch monitor, and it looks fine sitting within 5 feet of the monitor ... much better than my Sony TV. I even have a Walmart rocking chair of the plastic 100,000 volt kick your ass shocker type that I can pull up. If they'd invent some more pc-junk, I'd probably buy it. johns |
