| The GRAND VCD 2000 Plus Real-time MPEG-1 encoder is a high quality MPEG-1 encoder card, Build in 384K frame Buffer to enhance Audio sync with video signal. Grand VCD 2000 Plus can capture SIF and QSIF resolution video and real time compress to MPEG layer streams. Windows based operating software enables user to capture video and the audio signal. It is easy to make a VCD instantly, real time converts the video to VCD file, Simple and fast. (The board especially fit for the people without patient at off line video editing) Making VCD of wedding, meeting concert or birthday party could be a new business potential. CAI, Electronics Book (School course recording, Video instruction) --because of easy to operation. There will be widely make use of VCD as guidance in future.

This is a realtime mpg 1 capture card that will make compliant vcd files or you can specify the bit rate. The Plus version of the card correctly makes files that do not suffer from the voice/video sync problems found in other capture methods. Input from composite video or svhs. I tested the PAL version in Australia. It didnt like an NTSC tape played in a PAL VHS player as the output is not a true PAL signal. The PCI card was easy to install. The software supplied is simple to use and provides a small utility to add a watermark. I used Tmpgenc to edit the VCD to the correct size before burning with Nero. The mpeg-2 version of the card is called Grand Master Vision. This will be reviewed in a separate article. Comments posted by Jeff from Other, December 11, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K?

A great value for money. I was looking for some very easy to use reasonable quality real time MPEG1 encoder. This has all the features desired. I used it on PIII-800MHz,128MB SDRAM, 40GB HDD I am happy. Comments posted by atul dixit from Other, March 15, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K? WinXP? Vista? NT4? MAC?

Great MPEG1 capture card. Easy installation... I installed it myself. No problems on my P3 500Mhz w 128MB RAM. If MPEG1 with VCD resolution of 352 x 240 is desired, this is a great card. No problem with audio and video synchronization even up to 65 minutes. Got it at a very resonable price of US$150. Comments posted by Keith S. Chan from Other, March 04, 2002: Compatibility: Win95?

This is the same card as the True Blue (Action) card, or commonly named PV231 and PV233 (with a tuner). These are mpeg-1 hardware compression cards with very nice mpeg-1 compression quality in real-time. Comments posted by Steve Kittelsen from Other, December 23, 2001: Compatibility: Win95?

The Card works easily under Windows 98 SE with DirectX version 8. Software is not bad. Hardware has audio, S video and 2 other composite video input. The faster the pc/hard disk the better. I tested it on a Celeron 466 356 PC100 RAM and it worked fine. MPEG 2 card due for release Oct 2001. See also www.provideo.com.tw for similar products.

more technical information.New comments= New comments since your last visit. New Card= New Capture Card since your last vist. Feature What kind of main capture features it supports Analog VideoIn = Analog composite or/and SVHS video input Video Card = If it is a Video Card/Graphic Card Tv Tuner = Built-In TV-Tuner Digital TV = Built-In Digital TV-Tuner DV/Firewire = DV/Firewire/i.Link input DV Converter = Analog composite or/and SVHS video input and converts to DV video MPEG1 hardware = Capture directly MPEG1(VCD) video using hardware* MPEG2 hardware = Capture directly MPEG2(SVCD and DVD) video using hardware* MJPEG hardware = Capture directly to MJPEG using hardware* MPEG4 hardware = Capture directly to MPEG4(DivX,Xvid) video using hardware* * = Most capture cards can capture to this format using software but it usually requires a very fast computer, if it supports realtime capturing it uses the capture cards hardware and it doesn't require a very fast computer and you may get better quality but less options/settings than software capturing. Compatibility What Operating System our users have reported that it works on, Win95=Works Cnx = Connection What type of connection the capture device has to the computer, PCI, AGP, USB1/1.1/2, DV or PCMCIA. Price The price in US dollar. Rating The first rating is based on a weighted rank (the true Bayesian), it requires at least 5 votes to get a weighted rating. The second rating between the ( ) is a normal average rating. Comment User comments, click on view to view them or add to post a own comment. We can not gurantee that this list is 100% correct.
