Upgrading AIW 9800 pro

Devdeep · Apr 22, 2006, 08:09 PM

I have an [color=#800080]ATI AIW 9800[/color] pro and am planning a [color=#800080]PC upgrade[/color] including a new [color=#800080]Motherboard[/color].

Reason for AIW is Hi8 analogue tapes conversion. Do I go for a cheaper version of X series AIW or go with Pinnacle or Hauppauge product?

I was told that ATI AIW cards only have [color=#800080]software[/color] encoding and I will be better off with hardware encoding card.

If all you want is JUST to convert VHS just get a TV/HDTV Wonder no need to spend the cash on a whole new video card
