Hi Mick;
I wonder if you have done any captures with your 9800 from TV, have
the audio and video stayed in sync even during long captures? If you
do an MPEG-2 capture from TV, can you tell me just what file extension
you get on the saved file? Is it .mpg or .mp2?
I would like to upgrade my card if they got all the damn problems
fixed, have been fighting this card for several years now and it seems
always some problem or other crops up.
From what you said, capturing from the TV you don't even need the LINE
IN on the sound card, so apparently ATI finally is able to get the
sound from the video directly without going through the sound card, is
that correct?
THanks for your reply.
