Hi,

I don't usually subscribe to c.s.i.p.h.v so I may have missed this
discussion previously.  I'm new to this terminology so bear with me.

I currently have a Matrox Mystique 4 meg with 170 Ramdac.  Primarily I
want to do some simple video capturing - mainly VHS tape or camcorder/
quick-cam to hard-disk/avis etc so that I can send them onto relatives
etc.  I want a good quality capture, with faithful colours and clarity
and playback.

I may want to consider video-conferencing, and I quite like the Tv
facilities offered by the ATI Card.

I can consider the Rainbow Rainer upgrade for my Mystique (presumably
the R/Runner Studio works with the 170 OK), or go for a complete
replacement with the ATI - I want the better quality card rather than
lots of features.  Is there anything in the same price range I have
missed?

Advice would be useful.
