Looking at a new card. Am currently using GEForce MX2

How do the AIW 9000Pro and AIW 9600 cards compare?

Looking at the TV and video capture features.
Also how much hard disk space is needed to record 1/2 and 1 hour television
broadcast?

Thanks in advance.

1. Compare 9000 v 9600
Here's a link someone posted recently

2. HDD space needed
I'm running at about 3.7 Gb per hour recording at DVD quality MPEG2 352x576
3.00M ps
(Half an hour - would you believe 1.85 Gb?)

Considering the low cost of HDD space now that is very good - using it as a
real alternative to the VCR - much easier to find recorded programmes etc.

And by using compression - TMPGEnc - can burn about 1hr 10Mins onto a CD in
SVCD format (Nero)- though it takes a while to compress (2hrs 1800XP).

The latest MMC 8.8 is now offering MPEG4 which may be more efficient but I
haven't got it to work yet! (9000 PRO AIW on W98SE)

HTH,
Laurence
