Yes QuickSilver, I'm sorry...I put the wrong card there, this is the one I wanted to post.

here is the product features and comparisons, and that is the "suggested" retail price

here's the link to the encoder, I'm going to down load it and see how it responds! I know MPEG is what your after, but believe me, any type of editing with MPEG is very cumbersome and if you plan on messing with video it is very wise to have a dedicated storage drive. An example, I captured "Urgh, a music war" which is 2 hours in AVI with Uleads DVD Workshop. It put down 142 GB's of video!!! But you see, my point is that was "2 hours" of capture. You can get a 160 GB hard drive for under a 100 I think, new egg has one now for 92.

I'm very interested in the Osprey 210 for the audio capture with the video "in one" device. I also realise it's pretty pricey doing video, so I'm just going to hold off until I recoup from that hit the 5950 gave me.
