PIII 1.0 GHz 256 MB RAM Win98 FIRST EDITION (Slower system performance under Win98SE) Original Asus 1.0 capture driver 7200 RPM ATAPI HD's I've been using the V7700 for a couple of years with no problems. Can easily capture 704x480 at 29.97 fps in "Best Quality" mode with no dropped frames. Capture quality is excellent. I prefer using "Asus Live" for captures, as it's quick and easy to use...and very precise. Comments posted by Tom Lewandowski from United States, February 02, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K?

The Capturing feature of this card works perfect under XP doing the following steps : 1) Install Nvidia WDM 1.08 and nothing else. Because other verions will lead to frame dropping or picture errors. 2) Install asus digital vcr 2.1 or 2.2. Restart. 3) Run asus digital vcr. The picture of you video source should be visible. 4) Close asus digital vcr. 5) Run Virtual Dub and then capturing won't be a problem. The only problem is that you have always to start asus digital vcr before that. Overheater Comments posted by Overheater from Germany, January 27, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K?

A very good card if you use win98SE/ME, which works perfect with all the official latest Asus drivers and applications. BUT: This card is the ultimate Horror if you try to use it with Win2K or Win XP for capture. The best and easiest solution to solve this, is a dual boot: Use W98SE for capture and W2K (or XP) for anything else. If that is not possible and you forced to use W2k (or XP), here are some tips that might help you: - Don't use VfW drivers and any kind of VfW2WDM wrappers. That means that - unfortunatelly - you can't use Virtualdub to capture! Try to do it (with a vfm2wdm wrapper) and start counting endless framedrops.... - Never use the VfW drivers and the "Asus Live" application under Win2K or Win XP. Unfortunatelly, this - so good and easy to use - program, works only under 98/98SE and Me. IMPORTANT: Only use the "Nvidia WDM 1.08" driver. Only!!!! All the other older/newer versions have issues! From frame drops to strange white lines on the screen during the capture. What I suggest for capturing: - The first choice is of course the official "Digital VCR" program from Asus. For various reasons, install always first version 2.1 and if you are not pleased, then upgrade to the latest update. - The best alternative to Virtualdub could be Ivan Uskov's VCR (IuVCR) (http://www.iulabs.com/eng/index.shtml) Unfortunatelly, it is not freeware... - For freeware solutions, try your luck with "Virtual VCR" and "FreeVCR". - It is also possible to capture direct to mpeg 1 or mpeg 2 (720 X 576 ~10.000kb/s) by using Cyberlink's PowerVCR II Deluxe. If you don't use Nvidia WDM 1.08 for a strange reason you have an audio delay during capture. Of course, a modern CPU is neccessary, also a fast H.D. Here, you can read various reports and suggestions/tipps for Asus 7700, among others: http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/lev2/66/lev3/68/pid/749/qid/155668 I can say only one thing to the owners of Asus 7700: Good Luck with it! Personally, I don't suggest it, not because is a bad card, but because for w2k you must be a Voodoo priest to make it work!

To convert my old VHS tapes to SVCD first and DVD in future I bougth first the VIdeo Capture Card, know that with my actual computer (P2 333 256 ram, but SCSI lvd 160 Mb/sec data tranfer rate) probably I'll not have chance to work, just made tests. But for my surprise I could capture 640 x 480 without drop frames. I tested with newer MoBo with P3 600 and the performance was better. Ok I can't realy produce anythig because the time to convert AVI to MPEG2 is amaazing, ask me 24 hours to convert a 20 min video. But with newest MoBo and more ram and new processor I'm sure that I made the best choice. In addition this is the only board that capture in my own TV System (Pal-M) by software, I check the other models and only NTSC and Pal was available, the converter will drop the input resolution to 400 lines and it is the profesional model wih a cost about the same of the board reducing the video input quality. I will increase the performance of my MoBo and processor in next weeks and I will post the final performance of my experiments. I'm using Win 98 and plan to keep this system instead to newest ones because I know all the problems of this system and for me is very easy to keep it running fast and with great stability. I'm from Brazil and if someone want to trade some experiences about my learning during this months will be great. Comments posted by Carlos from Other, June 08, 2003: Compatibility: Win95?

P4B266 256MB DDR Asus V7700 Ti Deluxe I'm having trouble capturing more than 4GB videos. Previously I was using Win98 and have some sync problem and file size limitation. So I upgraded to WinXp Pro. Then I can capture more than 4GB videos using PowerVCRII but audio was not synchronize. After few days of meddling with the drivers, I use the 1.08 drivers and the audio was synchonise again. However I went and formatted my harddisk again and after reinstalling everything back, I can't get it to capture more than 4GB videos. Any help? I reinstall WinXp twice somemore but still can't it to capture more than 4GB. Only thing i installed is DVCR2.0 and PowerVCR11. I haven't try upgrading my DirectX.

Had this card for a little while and running under Win98SE is very good overall. But... Had some problems capturing after I updated the drivers past 6.31c as i think someone else mentioned. Kind of a bugger but whenever i want to capture something all i do is reinstall those drivers and then for game playing (which works excellently for...) use the latest asus drivers. This is all done using Asus Live 4.6r on an Athlon 1.2, haven't tried using VirtualDub yet as I only recently found out you need WebTV and WDM capture drivers installed to get it to work that way :) Comments posted by Rough from Other, October 24, 2002: Compatibility: Win95?

asus v7700 deluxe running on:: athlon xp1800+ gigabyte ga7vrx MoBo 256M pc2700 ddr ram capturing on win2k [no service pack] has been pretty good with virtualdub 1.4.10 and the latest wdm capture drivers from nVidia. i'm getting 29.97fps at 640x480 with PICvideo mjpeg codec [quality set to 17-18]. audio sync has been fine and it drops 1 frame every 30 minutes or so. capturing on redhat 7.3 with V4L [not v4l2] has been a serious challenge. compiled the rivatv module ok and can successfully capture with xawtv but the quality is just crap. i've been trying to compile nvrec but automake 1.6.3 is having problems. --------------------------------------------------- this card is sufficient for decent capture on win2k but if i could do it again i would've bought a cheaper bttv card with hardware compression so i wouldn't have to dual boot to windows.

This is the Deluxe version, with video in & out, and the 3D Glasses. I had the thing over a year before I read this forum and found out it could capture video half decently. I had problems at first, because I tried using the video outputs as inputs. Duh. For input, you can plug a SVHS cable directly into it, and it comes with an adapter cable so you can plug a composite source into the same SVHS port. You have to select "SVHS" in the ASUS Digital VCR program in order to see anything. I have had no problems recording VCD quality video, but higher than that has given me issues. I'm using a Athlon 950 with 256meg of RAM, and a Ultra66 HD. Considering all the extras this card came with, it was a good deal, back in Dec. 2001 when I got it.

Very mixed feelings about this card. First the big word of warning:Don't even TRY to use it to capture video under Windows 2000, as this sucks totally. Whatever you do, you will only get dropped frames and frustration. It is definitely NOT the problem of W2K itself, which can easily handle high-performance video capture applications. All versions of the ASUS capture software programs also make an unfinished impression, with the typical cryptic Chinese instructions, wierd bugs (like the inability to set capture to 25 frames) and no documentation worth speaking about. The Asus website, especially the ridiculous new Flash version, is a Chinese puzzle and support of any kind is non-existent. Like most Taiwanese companies, Asus doesn't want to know anything about their customers. They make good hardware but their attitude is, after you've paid your money please go away and leave us alone. Having said all this, the card hardware is good and capture performance under Windows 98SE is fine with VirtualDub. Just don't expect to get any support of any kind from Asus. Contacting them is a total waste of time and effort,it's like banging your head against a wall. Because of this, this is probably the last Asus product I'll ever buy, despite its acceptable quality. I'm just totally sick and tired of this kind of pig-headed disregard for service of any kind. Comments posted by Tim Green from Other, February 10, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? |

I have this card, and I think it is great. (My system: ASUS TUSL2-C, 1GHz @ 1050 MHz PIII, Win98SE, 2xIBM deskstar 7200rpm harddrives - one just for video capture/edit/arch -, ASUS 21.83 display drivers, XL Muse soundcard) Capture quality is very good. I can capture full frame PAL (704x576 @ 25fps) with only 1 drop in about 1800 frames, using virtualdub (ASUS vfw cap driver, UVUY(?), no compression, avi ). And I don't believe it is the V7700s fault that I'm dropping (occasional) frames. The captured video looks just like it should. Works great with games etc. too. Pretty good overclocking. (never tried the 3d glasses! TVout is fine, but I don't use it enough (due to my setup) to really say that I have put enough effort into getting it to work well.

I spent a lot of time searching for a good graphics card, a good video capture card, and a good video output card. You can buy them separately for lots of dollars or you can just get the ASUS V7700 deluxe which does it all. 3D graphics is excellent and it is one of the few cards that (at the time I got it) could capture full screen. It uses the better quality codex chipset and ,in my opinion, gives lots of flexibility in its configuration. The ASUS Video 2 capture codec is the best to use for initial capture (less load on the CPU) but you can set the card for RGB or UYVY output and then plug it into another codec (like DIVX which is simply the best encoder I've found. MPEG is inferior and glitchy). Other capture cards like the Pinnacle DC10 won't let you do this, it is fixed to mpeg input AND output. And that is another brilliant feature of the V7700; the video output. The SVHS quality is good enough for me (as good as I'll ever need)and you don't have to worry about what format your source material is; as long as you play it on your desktop you can play it onto tape by simply switching you desktop to the video out of the card. I use Windows98se and I ONLY use the version 6.31c drivers as supplied by ASUS. The detonator drivers run like crap and you loose all your video tweaks. Unless ASUS releases a descent driver, stick with 6.31c. I've tried W2k. Looks nice but it isn't a performance OS. Couldn't capture more than 15fps. My pc is an AMD Athon 1.33Ghz with 256Mb of 266Mhz DDR ram on a Gygabyte 7DXC Mobo. The whole system is UNDERCLOCKED to 1.15Ghz with ram running at 200Mhz. The system is rock stable and runs damn cool. I use Postive Pressure Ventilation (forced filtered air) on the case. I can hardly notice any loss of speed, but the stability makes it a joy to use, even with Windows! Virtual Dub is hard to beat for editing/capturing video. I would be screwed without it. I don't get any dropped frames at full screen capture provided I don't run any other programs and the HD has been defragged and I use the ASUS Video 2 codec. All in all I find the ASUS V7700 a good piece of hardware. You can't complain for the price! I'm still enjoying using it! Comments posted by Da\/o§ from Other, January 15, 2002: Compatibility: Win95?

another nice graphic card from ASUS: 2D/3D: GeForce 2 Titanium 64 Mb TV OUT: Chrontel Ch700x TV IN: Phillips SAA7113H no hardware compression My projet is to capture very old video tapes (8 years old). I don't known if SAA7113H has Timebase Corrector(TBC) inside but the video is perfecly rended.(no more red and blue lines like on PCTV RAVE) Great. software package: - ASUS Digital VCR (VFW and WDM versions) - WinProducer/WinCoder - AHEAD DVD Movie Factory BUT: don't espect perfect capture in 704x480 30fps, Asus drivers are completely buggy! My system: ASUS Driver: 4.62a ABIT KT7 with lastest bios and VIA 4.1 Service pack. 650meg SDRAM PC133 Thunderbird 900Mhz Seagate Baracuda 7500rpm 20 Giga (UDMA 66) Windows 98 SE & Windows 2000 SP2 Here my review: *** Tested with 8 years old Video Tape *** - beyond 288 lines, abominable motion blur. - VFW ASUS Driver: - random shaky effect in captures - only available under Win9x - must capture in PAL before capturing in SECAM (arggh !) - WDM ASUS Driver: - unstable under Win9x - WinVCR doesn't work with Under Windows 2000: - ASUS Digital VCR 2.0 (WDM compatible): - no .AVI support (.mpg 1 & 2 only) - ignore FPS settings, capture alway in 29.9fps (NTSC) - WinCoder (WDM compatible) - same spec than ASUS Digital VCR but drop frames ! - AHEAD DVD Movie Factory (WDM) - support .AVI and .MPEG (1 & 2) - doesn't support VFW codec (arrrgh !) - max birate lower than ASUS Digital VCR - audio synch pb capturing MPEG1 Conclusion: under Win2K, with ASUS Digital VCR 2.0 you can make perfect mpeg files at 720*288 29.9fps.

a super card especialy with the asus v2 codec capture tv in 704x576 25fr/s (pal)no droped frames it can even capture "raw" with a data stream of +/-28 Mb/sec in the yuv or 24bits color ps i use compsite videocable to capture tv from a tvset it has also a trick for de interlacing the signal by capturing only half the screen (and calculating the other half later 704x288) Comments posted by Sander de Valk from Other, December 06, 2001: Compatibility: Win95?

As a VIDEO card, this one is great! It totally satisfies the needs of gamers. As a CAPTURE card, it barely qualifies. I can capture 320x240 with 1% frame drops, but could not even come close to getting 720x480 capture. The drivers for Win2K are marginal and totally fail to work after installing Win2K SP2. I have read that the Win98 drivers work better. My solution to this problem was to forgoe the Asus and get the Sony DVMC-DA2 converter plugged into a firewire card. Now I am happily capturing full NTSC quality video with 0 frame drops. I have a PIII-1Ghz, 256MB RAM, IBM 75GXP 7200RPM setup.

captures at 704x576 (PAL). PII faster than 500MHz will capture in the ASUS codec or a software MJPEG codec perfectly, without drops. If you want image quality, steer clear from this card. The input seems fine, except that glossy-ness isn't recorded, probably since it's 24bit not 32bit input. The TV out looks rubbish if you compare playing a DVD (with tv out obviously) with a component DVD player. Colour bleeding and colour channel stuff-ups start becoming apparent when you have dark but fairly high contrast images -- reds turn to brown, greens to grey. If you want an all round solution card ie 3D, hardware motion compensation (part of MPEG), and TV in/out then this may be the card. If you want image quality, don't bother.

Use Asus TV Box with supplied software. Can capture 320x240 with no dropped frames using the Supplied Asus Codec at highest quality and pcm audio 44khz stereo 16 bit.
