OK, i installed the latest WDM drivers that are compatible with me geforce 4 ti4200 my vivo edition(got the drivers from nvidias site.But still i cant capture at half res and i cant use the YUY2 colour space.So im gonna invest in a capture card... Now im guessing a tv card and capture card are one in the same.

Now i was looking here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/TV_Cards.html and i was looking at the Leadtek Winfast TV2000 XP Expert and the Leadtek Winfast DV 2000 1394 PCI TV Card .Now both use a 10bit video decoder which i guessing is a good thing.But on the leadtek site it does'nt say what resolutions they can capture to or what colour space they capture to.Nether say what chip set they use, but i dont know what chipsets are god or not.

Now are these two cards any good and which is better.Im guessing the second one as it seems to have more inputs.Also does anyone know what resolution they can handle.

Also are any of those other cards any good, or can people name me some cards that are good but not on that site as i can have a look down my local computer fair.

After capturing i will be converting to mpeg2 for dvd.

Last thing is that frame loss ive read about something o do with the card ?
