I'm looking for a new 3D card that I can also use to input some of my old VHS tapes and convert them to VCD. I was thinking of the new AOpen GeForce4 Ti4200, but I don't know anything about nVidia's VIVO.

Is it good enough for capturing VHS video, or should I look at getting a different capture card? I don't want to spend the money on an All-In-Wonder since the 3D performance isn't quite up-to-snuff. Thanks!

nVidia doesn't make VIVO, that's added by the card manufacturer. And the VIVO chips used by every manufacturer I know of are not very good.

ATI Radeon 8500 has the same 3D power as the Ti4200, and has good VIVO. Whoever told you different was lying.

My experiences with VIVO cards have shown a generally good input quality, but the output is a freagin' joke. But I haven't used any VIVO's on any NVidia chips...I can say the Radeon one's look good for capture.

Just use some good software, as my PIII533b and a VooDoo3-3500 would capture @ 15-17fps with Ulead, but Premier got it done @30fps
