Accurately captures VHS and S-VHS input signals. Converts both successfully to MPEG2 format without losing sync sound - even up to 2 hours. There are capture cards alone (without tuners) that cannot do... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~161599884932 Sat, 13 Nov 2004 21:31:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_161599884932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154726862468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FekIhr - I've had a few different TV cards over the years - and I decided it was time to "move up a notch" and get something better. The PVR-250 seemed to have the right balance of features and performance - plus - the price "looked like it was better than the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154726862468 Wed, 8 Sep 2004 05:32:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154726862468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147557813892?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rogerc77 - I picked up this card because I wanted hardware encoding since the HTPC machine I am building are left over from my upgrade where it was only a P3 800mhz. People with newer CPUs in the 2ghz range can probably get away with software based capture card... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147557813892 Tue, 13 Jul 2004 15:41:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147557813892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_127314267780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tcchou71 - I've spent the last 2 weeks looking for the best TV/capture card and software. This was the best of the cards I tried, for 2 main reasons: 1. Hardware compression lets you record high quality MPEGs (720x480 resolution, near DVD quality) with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~127314267780 Mon, 26 Jan 2004 08:07:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_127314267780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_125867888260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mbrown3 - This hardware is great; it does what it's supposed to. Single video source input. However, the software that comes with it leaves a lot to be desired. For pure functionality, SageTV is the way to go (www.freytechnologies.com), and the two work... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~125867888260 Tue, 13 Jan 2004 12:36:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_125867888260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_113191784068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author rasi2290 - This is the second PVR application I've used with my computer. The first was the Creative Labs Digital VCR, which is about 2 years older. Since it's easier(but less fun), I'll address the hardware first. One of the reasons I selected this product is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~113191784068 Fri, 19 Sep 2003 13:29:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_113191784068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_106405858948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jazjef - Did you ever wonder what would happen if you could transport a Pentium-4 computer with no manual bac... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~106405858948 Thu, 17 Jul 2003 20:56:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_106405858948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_77987548804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author datwater - I made the choice of the $150 (retail) WinTV PVR250 over the $40 (retail) TV Wonder, simply because the WinTV PVR250 has hardware mpeg encoding. Now I wonder if it was worth the extra money. I brought it home, and installed it in one of my PC's, and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~77987548804 Sun, 13 Oct 2002 06:36:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_77987548804?linkin_id=8003929
