VIA chipset for DV capturing and DVD authoring
|
DV and analog capture may be different, I acknowledge. I could have been a bit too general, as well. The DV 500+ is a DV
and analog capture system that will capture at DVD resolution. With a VIA chipset Soyo Dragon+, I had a lot of problems. The APIC also gave some more flexibility for the IRQ-hungry hardware I run besides the DV-500+.
At the time that I bought the board, VIA did not offer APIC, and many VIA chipset boards use PCI bandwidth for other uses. This isn't such a big problem for some capture systems, but those with high system demands can have trouble. The Pinnacle system has a DV encoder for analog video, and uses like 25Mb per second of bandwidth. Pinnacle reviews boards for compatibility, and the Nforce boards do well, while many VIA boards do not.
