The Marvel etv?  Does it handle/ ignore macromedia?  I want to get my school
house rock tapes on CD before my VCR's eat them all.

I wnt to the Matrox site and read a little about it.  It sounds very similar
to the All-in-one radeon.

I currently have only an old Hauppauge card that records only in AVI.  What
format does the Marvel actually record in?---I want to make sure I was
following the copy on the web site?
