The card is made by ATI. I bought it a few years ago, and I don't think they make the exact same model, but do still carry the type.
It's sort of confusing when your looking for these things - too many options. Here's the model I have:
ATI-3D Pro Turbo PC2TV (DirectX) - Rage II/II+
Basically, you want to get one that has a video out featue, like PC2TV. I have one of those small TV's with a built in VCR. You just go ahead and record as you would any TV show.
Before buying that, I had tried the gadgets that hook up between the two machine.....not good.
I installed this myself. Just pulled out the old video card, and popped the new one in, and installed the software - no rocket science there.
One final thing. I've tried a lot of slide show type software, and the best one for this is by Play. It's called Performer, and it comes bundled with a bunch of other programs, under the name Gizmos. I can't find the link to the company, as it looks like they must have sold their PLAY.COM to Sony. However, I think the software is still available in stores at about $40-$50 (maybe less now).
Hope this helps.~Vikki -
Many thanks. That's info I needed. The local Historical Society is putting together a computer system to allow them to present slideshows etc. and they wanted to be able to output their computer generated stuff to video tape. This will give 'em a place to start and get me off the hook. Thanks again. TomComment

For those looking to get into the "frame grabbing" game, this video card is well worth taking a look at. Priced around $198.00, it is not exactly cheap but the features it offers and the user friendly software which come with it are definately worth the expense. This card is 32 bit and allows...11-14-2001, 04:06 PM -
I have a fast computer, fast videocard, both with lots of RAM, but I also get a lot of video residual effects and "smearing". For example, if one window is in front of another and I close or minimize the front one, sometimes its ghost image is left behind until I do something to cause the...10-24-2006, 09:55 PM

GPU acceleration has complicated the video card conversation, particularly since Photoshop has rather spotty support. But Lightroom 6 is due any day now, and reportedly will be 100x faster due to OpenCL acceleration.
So my question is, what vidcard do you use and would you upgrade for...04-12-2015, 03:47 PM -
I am getting a new computer in several weeks. P4, 1.5 GHz and all the other goodies.
The computer comes with a Asus V7700 32mb GeForce2 AGP video card. My present computer has a Matrox Millennium G200 AGP video card. Does any one know if Asus is as good a Matrox?
Thanks....10-11-2001, 01:32 PM -
My local warehouse has got some cheap Geoforce 4 video cards in stock with 128mg ram onboard. Does anybody use this type of card? I wondering if the upgrade would we worth it or are these chipsets aimed at games players. Using Geo 2 at the moment. Thoughts?09-13-2002, 09:27 AM
