Looking for a TV Capture card with 2 composite input sets.

I'm looking for a TV capture card that can record sound and video with
2 simultaneous inputs via composite (That's the Yellow-White-Red cable
set) on 1 card. If it requires an extension cable or something of the
like that's fine but it must be on 1 card.
 
Hauppauge PVR-500, but it requires two slots in the back of the computer --
one for the extra set of connections.
 
I need something that only takes up 1 PCI slot.

Why don't you use a switch going into the card, so you will only need 1
input in the card?

You would get better results if you explain what results
you are looking for, not the tools or methods you want
to use.

Try to use a "block diagram" description of what
you want. Describe what you have now in great
detail, and what you want to end up with in detail.
Say little or nothing about how you think it should
be done or what tools should be used to do it.
(Isn't that what you are asking the NG's advice on?)

Most people know what they have, and what they
want. Where the problem most often comes in is
when they know they haven't any experience doing
something but have a need to insist on doing it their
way. Then they ask those with some experience, not
how to do something, but how to do it a particular
way using a particular tool.

Often the real answer is: Do it a different way, using
a different tool.

I need 2 or more composite channels that are able to record/playback
simultaneously at any given time. Also support for automatically
segmenting files seamlessly, 30 minute chunks would be good. A
requirement is to have it on 1 expansion slot.
 
Did you just not like my suggestion of running both sets out of one PCI slot
using a PVR-500?

It would work exactly as you want (except the segmenting)

Don't top post.

Was that susposed to be a reply to my post?

What you seem to be looking for would be a
"Video Surveillance capture card" try Googling that.

Hey Ken, methinks you need a vacation! :-)

As I read it, this allows the app - WinTV2K - to switch between a/v
sources. It does not mention simultaneous recording from both.

Nope. PVR-500 has TWO tuners. There are RCA connectors on the card
(red,white,yellow) AND RCA connectors on the 'extra' set. It allows
recording from TWO simultaneous feeds. Don't know if their app will do it,
but Media Center and BeyondTV certainly will.
