Difference between DVC-100 and ATI TV Wonder 600/650?

[sbm_21]

Someone can upload 2 piece 30 sec, raw AVI file recorded with Dazzle DVC-100 and ATI TV Wonder 600/650? I want to buy a new A/V capture card to digitize my VHS tapes and i cant find any good quality clips about this 2 card.

The 600 and 650 are vastly different cards.
- The 600 is quality, certain TI chips.
- The 650 is one of the final pre-AMD ATI chips, and it has horrid AGC issues.

The Dazzle is low end crap, butchers the image values (color, tint, contrast, brightness, etc), as well as blows out exposure. There are actually several DVC card revisions, with some being minimally acceptable (but not suggested), and others being as awful as the Easycap (Easycrap) cards.

Don't random buy these from eBay/wherever. If the 600 card is not complete with the AV bundle, you screwed, you bought a worthless USB stick. Be aware that the "clones" are not 100% clones, and while not bad, you need to understand the differences in usages and install.

Thanks for the really quick reply! The ATI Theater 550 Pro PCI is how much crappy?
