Video Card help

[turtlespeed 226]

What is the best video card that has s-video out, or RCA out - 128 or 256 meg - for video edditing.

Help - My video card burned up last night and I need to finish a video tonight.

actually use the firewire card for transfer that way you can put it out in DV format to your camcorder and then into dvd withou going to analog.

he probably wants to output to a real monitor also so Svideo, and rca are options

Been shopping - Gforce - ATI Radeon - PNY

questions are this though - 1) yeah G-force and Voodoo are great game video cards - what would be better for video edditing

2) I (was) am out putting to a video mixing board that out puts to up top 6 TV's Which card would be better for that use

I have a DVD presentation to get done tonight. There is a meeting early Thursday that they will be playing the DVD -

I have the "old" video card installed at this vcery moment - but honestly it sux and is bogging down.

Soooooo

What shjould I buy - I have +/- 150.00 which encompasses all three manufacturers above.

Buy a new keyboard that has typos removed. Also with +/- $150 isn't going to get you anything worth a shit nor will it be the muscle you need to do DV editing. Might wanna triple your investment. Just a suggestion

Hi Clint, there are many suitable cards to output s-video or rca. You mention 'output' not input. So, a bigger concern is how fast your CPU is, trust me, that's what is going to consume most of your time.

You can use firewire to get video from DV cameras, but doubt that either Nvidia or ATI can give you what you're looking for... a graphics adapter that will aid video editing by doing *something* in hardware instead of relying on the CPU.

Edit: So, if all you want is output to s-video or rca, either of those brands will work. Just don't expect your editing to be faster because of them.

I run premiere and any/all graphics heavy stuff off my ATI Radeon 9800.....without a single glitch
If 'ya PC just be sure you have plenty of RAM .....and that card will handle anything out there today on a Pentium 4
