Wanted...vid card

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

I need a PCI slot "All In Wonder" card or one similar with A/V in/out and S-video input. I need to upload analog video to my pc for editing. I tried a "plug and play" adapter but the software suck ballz...keep crashing...so I'd like to get a card instead.

[Crazy White Boy]

How much are you looking to spend? That is $114.95.

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

Actually i believe he is looking for a PCI card, not an AGP card. Not that I think this makes a dif in the price, but it might in finding what he needs. :)

[LA_MERC_Onji]

yeah he needs pci, because he already has a 3dcard in his AGP slot and does not want to do the switch back and forth thing

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

if you're wanting something retail bb...take a look at this:

[Crazy White Boy]

Doh, I thought that was PCI.

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Thx guys. I was looking for something used but the $112.00 one might work. Wish I could get the 9700 but it's like $450 or something stupid like that.

this is the agp version, but if u want me to look for the pci, if made i will

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

That's not the AIW though...the 9700Pro AIW is like 400-500 bucks. In fact I don't even know if they made anything higher than the 7500 in a PCI Version. I'd have to check up on that.

BB, have you thought about just a video capture/mpeg decoder card??? That's what the pro's use, and it's a lot better than an AIW card, and you can do everything with it, and a lot faster because it's a dedicated card rather than a card that has to split priorities around...just a thought.

BB when do you need one?Get with me I have one I think you can use...It is a G-Force 4 Tracker

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

A dedicated card is fine. I like my vid card I have now. It HAS to be pci though. Price is the main factor here. Track....whenever man. I want to edit and encode some video from last years BBQ and stuff Ill take this year at the LAN. BTW, you get those apps I sent you yet?

Scott

[Tracker]

No not yet..I have one I will give to you..It is a G-Force 4, 64mb is the only prob,but you are more than welcome to it..Just e-mail me..You will just have to pay for shipping..or wait until the LAN in May..

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

dOES IT HAVE THE s-VIDEO AND A/V INPUTS?? Thats what I REALLY ned . Ive never seen a G4 with those inputs...

(stupid caps lock)

Scott

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

If it does I'll pay the shipping no prob.

Scott

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

I'd get an ATI TV wonder from walmart/circuit city/best buy, wherever for like $40...it has s vid and av in and out, and a tv tuner built it...basically it is tha all in wonder part of an all in wonder. here's on I found on price watch for like $45 http://www.enpc.com/cgi-bin/enpc/100703137.html and here is one at best buy http://www.bestbuy.com/Detail.asp?m=1581&cat=1588&scat=&e=11008484 If you like your current vid card, this is all you need, and it IS PCI...

'atiaiwve' = Coupon code for free shipping. :blue:

[Tracker]

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

GOOD GOD TOBY...thats one heckofa card there....I wouldnt even know how to hook up most of that stuff, much less use it....LOL!

[LA_MERC_i||ega|-op]

By the way, I have the TI4600 Version of that card

http://www.leadtek.com/graphics/a250ultratd-myvivo/a250ultratd-myvivo.htm

Seems to work well

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

i'm sure it does, but i wonder how much such a card would run? $400 - 500 bucks prolly...LOL

[LA_MERC_i||ega|-op]

He could get the Geforce 4 MX440 64meg ram for about $80 or the Geforce 4 Ti4200 with 128megs ram for $160

[Crazy White Boy]

That 4600 is sweet Toby, how much that thing run ya?

[Tracker]

[LA_MERC_i||ega|-op]

But tracker.. It doesn't have the myvivo so it doesn't have the options that he needs :)

[Tracker]

O ok i didnt read it..lol...doh..well just thought i was being nice.. :(

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

You were...thx bro.

Scott:)

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Max, I went to Best Buy and the card you showed me has the S-video plug in but NOT audio jacks. From what I was told S-video plug does not tranfer sound, only video. If this is correct then I cant use that card. Why the hell is this so frigin difficult?? All I wanna do is upload video......GRR!!

SCott

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldnt you use your sound card to transfer the sound?

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

The sound card I have doesn't have composite In jacks. Nice try though.

Scott

[LA_MERC_Maverick]

ahhh!

[Tracker]

well i can tell you this Scott..I have a sound card that does ...just a thought

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Umm...what does that mean Track?? My sound card has the mic and headphone jacks but not composite jacks. It's a POS PCI 16 sound card. This is getting to be a pain. I had bought a USB adapter that had all the right connectors but the software was really p!ssing off my computer so I took it back. It was made by Pinnacle. There is another company that makes a similar product so I guess I'll try that one. I'm trying (with very little luck) to keep this endeavor under $100.

Scott:(

[K-BOMB]

BB, does your sound card have a "Line In" jack? If so, you can buy a 1/8" mini-plug-to-RCA (composite) cable for a couple of bucks (pretty common cable, I use one to hook up my laptop to my receiver for MP3 playback). This one is a bit expensive, but I know you could find a cheaper one at Radio Shack.



You might be able to use the mic-in jack for the same purpose, but the audio might be distorted.

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

ITs got three inputs...a green a pink and a blue. It is the most basic duplex card you can get. I think I paid like $29 for it. Thats not a bad idea K-BOMB. All this trouble is frying my brain.

Scott

[K-BOMB]

I think blue is usually line-in...does it have a symbol like ((<-))

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

I think so. I'm leaning toward the spliter I mentioned that is USB. It just seemes to make sense and will be easier to plug in when I need it. Just hope the damn software works.

Scott

[SnAkEbItE]

Hey BB get with me and I can answer all your question's but, it will take a little time so IM me and I'll help you out. I started doing video editing a while back and I have a old video card I'll sell you that will do what your wanting.

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

cool
