Wanted to find out peoples experiences of using any of the new Geforce 4 / Radeon cards to watch video from another source than your PC. I have a Gainward Ti 4400 card that has video in and out and I use it to watch TV from a Satalite decoder / set-up box, watch video's and to play PS/2 games to my monitor. I use 'Wincoder' from Intervideo to capture the video (came the Gainward). Recently moved house and rather than buy a TV, I just brought a bigger Monitor (21").
The only downers are that you get a green line at the top of the screen with Wincoder and that any programs that have a white background or are set in bright sunlight have fading on anything else on screen. This means that I have to turn down the brightness and contrast until there is a scene in darkness, then turn them back up again.
Has anyone else used their new video cards like this?
