So Geforce 4 Ti4200's are good for editing then?

Hi everyone. This being my first post 'n' all, I'll make it quick.

I'm in the market for a whole new system, and have been seriously considering the GF4 Ti4200 cards as I want the best of both worlds when it comes to gaming & editing.

I was just wondering if anyone would care to enlighten me if they are in fact decent for editing/capturing/gaming, or just a steaming pile of dog turds....

Cheers,
LK

As far as I know the only geforce cards that come with capturing are the old Asus ones or the ones currently based off the Nvidia Cinema package thingies with the breakout box and stuff.

The video card itself has almost nothign to do with video editing - they simply display stuff on a screen in 2d. I use dual monitor with a TNT2 Ultra and a Rage IIC pci board.

What about the ones with 'My ViVo'? (My Video In My Video Out) Seeing as it has a "Video In", I thought they might be cards that you can digitize video/audio with.

I actually do want the GF4 with the Personal Cinema breakout box, but at the moment I can get a really good deal on an excellent PC with a Leadtek GF4 64 meg w/ My Vivo capabilitly, rather than build my own design from a list of desirable parts.

And (as always) as money is a big factor, I want the best bang for my buck.

The is that now adays if you can stay away from capturing analog source, the better off you are. A DVD will most likely always provide better image quality, take up less space and is easier to get working then fiddling with getting your capture card to recognize properly in the computer and capturing with out dropped frames.

So if at all possibly just use a DVD drive.

Good point.

I suppose it would be better to just rip footage from a DVD & edit it using Adobe or the like.

Whats would be a good combo of programs for the creation of AMV's - editing/ripping?

(Sorry to be asking so many questions!!)

I actually used to be an editor in a television station (so I know a bit about editing), but I have absolutely no clue as to what I need to use @ home.

ErMaC has a link to his guide there for ripping and using DVD's with Premiere.

DVD ripping is better
