Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro good?
 

I got Matrox RT.X100 Xtreme Pro together with input module (will receive after a week) for EUR 50.
If I understand correctly, problem with those is the same as with Lynx One sound cards - good cards, but works only under XP. It is not a big problem because I have serviced XP machines where it can be used.

Opinions about that?

25 years ago, yes.
Now, no.

RT.X cards rely on not just XP, but outdated software like Premiere 5/6.

I used to really want this card. Now I wouldn't use it if it were free.

Ok, thanks! EUR 50 is not a big mess :)

I have (licensed) Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 in my archive folder. But well, to mess with it would be likely masturbation (pardon the expression). I just sometimes buy useless toys (but cheaply) :)

But I believe this should be updated:

-- merged --

However just curious - if it support capture of lossless YUY2 (I am not sure, really did not investigated this :)) in Premiere Pro 2.0, why it could not be used for capture?

Later captured file can be edited in another programs.

All of the guides need 2020s updates.

Matrox cards pre-date Premiere Pro by about a decade. I don't refer to Premiere Pro 5/6, but pre-Pro 5/6. Ancient versions. If IIRC, RT.X is DV and MPEG only, not lossless.

Save that €50 for literally anything else, even non-video (a steak dinner, whatever).

OK, will do! :)
