Ah I did not know this....Although (being new to this)....What could be the reason for going from DV -> analog? just wondering.. > I know I would recommend the Canopus product.

Well I have a bttv card that for just recording tv shows like drew carey is just fine, it's not outstanding quality but for watching once and then deleting I'm happy with it. mencoder seems to have some "magic mojo" about buffering, I dont get lost frames at all (or it inserts them so little I cant see it) and it will encode to divx on the fly with my 1.4g athlon, and doesnt work it very hard at all... But for a show I want to keep I'd like to have a high quality method too... So just to ask, if you use the canopus to record shows, how does your computer changes channels on the source you have connected to it?
