I'm trying to decide between getting a DVD-R or an AIW. I want to record off
my TV (digital cable with cable box) like on my current VCR. At the same
time I have some VHS and 8mm videotapes I would like transferred to DVD. I
currently have my cable TV running through my hi-fi VCR and then stereo for
my surround sound system.
It appears from the AIW 9800 or XT800 cards I should be able to both record
TV programs and videocapture with one solution. But if I went with a DVD-R
for recording TV programs I would still need a videocapture card.
Having no experience with AIW cards, is it possible to hook up the
connectors and through my 5.1 surround sound system as I have currently done
with my hifi VCR? Are the AIW cards fairly easy to use and program for
recording and videocapture. I will also be getting a HDTV in the near, or
not so near future, depending on if you ask me or my wife.
appreciate any suggestions; or if I didn't make myself clear, which is
certainly possible, help me clarify.
Thanks

current system: I think my system is sufficient for my needs. I'm not a big
gamer and am not interested in building a new system until all this dual
processor business gets sorted out.
Intel PEBT2 mb
1 gig RAM
ATI 9500 Pro
Maxtor SATA 150 HD (a second hard drive will be installed soon)
SONY 720 DVD
3.06 processor with hyperthreading
