I dont know anything about the codecs. Doesnt the ati card come with all the recording software?
What's wrong with the seagate? I've read lots of good about the new 7200.7 drives with the 8mb cache. Their supposed to be quieter and just as fast as the WD. It was also on sale. One issue that I'm afraid of is that the maxtor wont play nice with the seagate. I tried to run a second seagate drive in my system a few years ago just to transfer some files but I couldnt get the system to recognize both drives. With the help of this forum we came to the conclusion that maxtor drives tend not to work with other brand name drives.
Any more info you could give me on codecs and such would be great. As you can probably tell I'm new to the video capture scene.
