Two questions. 1) What are the best video capturing/editing capable video cards? 2) Are they capable of good de-interlacing/scaling?
Just wondering, what is the industry standard for video capturing/editing now-adays? Is an ATI Radeon AIW 9600 a good card? I could get a Rainbow Runner for G series for my Matrox G400 max video card, for $109 CAD. Is that ancient card totally out of date vs the newer ATI stuff? For instance, how is the ATI AIW 9600XT?

or then there's this:

I remember that the MSI TV@anywhere and the Flyvideo 2000/3000 were good cards for de-interlacing/scaling. It would be nice to have a robust HTPC capable setup, but thats not my main interest. It would be interesting to know whether or not the modern ATI AIW 9600XT could perform de-interlacing via hardware/software that is as good as Silicon Image 50x or Faroudja.
thanx for any feedback.
