I don't see a tuner, so looks like it's only use is for video archival (i.e. from vcr)??? Or I guess you could capture from cable box or satellite output.
Very limited use card, IMO.

I respectfully disagree. I like BagofCrap's prompt threads for new woots. And I come here first to check out all the bad things everyone has to say about the new woot when deciding whether or not to make a purchase. Keep up the good work!
this was useful, and basically secured my $45 in my bank account...
(taken from a review on Amazon)... and yes i believe it...
04/01/04 06:20:32 tse23545 Hello from Adaptec, Unfortunately the VideOh products we have only work with the bundled software MyDVD. So the Beyond TV, Pinnacle Studio, roxio Easy CD Creator, Adobe Premiere and Windows Movie Maker will not work with it or they will have problems recognizing the device. But you can capture the video using Sonic MyDVD to MPEG Clips and other editing software should be able to edit the clips. Or try the included WinDVR to capture the clip from the TV signal. Unfortunately there won't be a driver release for the hardware to be compatible with 3rd party video editing software. ---- For this reason, if you ever plan on using your TV Tuner card with anything other than the included software, you'll do better to look elsewhere...
Agreed. It seems bagocrap and I think Dextarali(sp?) both like to post the everynight woot item no matter what. Doesn't matter if it's a good deal or not. It pointless to me anyways since it's faster for me just to go woot.com at 10pm Pacific time since depending on your filters or if you refresh the the hot deals forums, it may not even show up for you until after that time anyways.

ahh, the uneducated posting thoughts on something they know nothing about...
This product appears amazing because it's not merely a capture card, it's a capture card with builtin MPEG-2 hardware.
What's the difference?
Most capture cards are purely software driven, which is the reason I use a minidv camcorder for capture video. Since it's a hardware capturing solution.
Even a radeon all-in-wonder is using software emulation to capture to mpeg2, which can lead to loss of quality, sync and dropped frames.
Paying $40 for a hardware-based mpeg-2 capture card is insanely cheap!
Besides, the software limitations are really not important. I rarely use the same software to capture and edit video, since everything has strengths and weaknesses.

OP, most of the people that frequent this board already know about woot, and if they care about deals at woot already check woot on a daily basis.
It would probably be in your best interest not to post deals from woot any longer.
If you do, be prepared for the flaming that will follow.
