Hello!
I found among my old things, this ATI All in Wonder AGP complete with cables dongle Box and driver and manual CDs,
but I can't find the original box. I don't remember the exact model
(it says it was manufactured in February 2001) and seems that is 32 Mb ram.
Is there anyone who can identify it?
Other questions: the Chip is "Rage Theater".
What could be the best version of drivers and MMC
with Video Soap to make it work in XP?
The drivers in the supplied CDs are for windows ME, so I can't use those.
Last question: is it a good card for acquiring VHS?
(let's leave out the VHS player and the TBC for which they are already in place)
Thank you.
That should be AIW 7500 AGP, should be fine, good.
I don't think that's the 129 Pro, which is not great to use, not anymore.
Only use MMC for MPEG
Don't bother with VideoSoap, nor with the DVD MPEG spec. Use 15mbps (low broadcast, Blu-ray).
There's a thread here on the forum with drivers that can be downloaded, use those, not some random crap from other sites. I forget exact version off-hand, discussed there in more details.
The question is always the same: can it go well?
I have all the parts disassembled and I have to reassemble a PC especially for this card,
but I don't know if the capture quality will be good, so I ask the gurus

I apologize, but it is not clear to me.
This information is in order to burn to a Blu Ray? Not on a DVD, right?
72, 75, same thing. I vaguely remember 7200 was OEM, 7500 was retail boxed.
I use these cards myself at times. I used those exclusively for years.
Are you making DVDs? My point is that MPEG recording at DVD specs not really suggested anymore, capture AVI and encode to MPEG after some capture cleanup. DVD MPEG capture was great when drives small, costly, systems slow. But it's now the 2020s, not the 2000s. The AIW is still one of the best quality cards ever made for image quality, hence why still so used. But forget MPEG and MMC, use lossless AVI and VirtualDub. If doing MEPG to save space, don't compress to DVD, use the 15-20mbps settings for best 4:2:0 MPEG quality.
