Vivo questions!!!

[Thevil]

What is the resolution I should expect of a video input (in a vivo graphics card ex. ti4200)?
I search over the net and found 720x576 but they say quality isn't very good...
I want to buy a new card but want to use video in to connect vcr, playstation2, camera... So I use the monitor like a TV...
Does the vivo (video in) quality is good?
What card (up to $300USD) does have the most quality in this caracteristic?

Thks For the help

You might want to consider a separate Video Input card, especially if you do recordings, as that's usually where the performance loss occurs. Hauppauge has a card with hardware MPEG2 compression onboard, thinks it's called the WinTV PVR or something. Don't get fooled by external solutions.

Anyway, the next step down from there for TV input would be the ATI All In Wonder 9700 Pro, which would give you the best output with "acceptable" input.
