Default Purchasing a Capture Card

I was thinking of purchasing a cheap capture card off of Ebay:
PCI TV Tuner Video Capture Card w/ FM Radio &Remote NEW - (eBay item 290158971931 end time Sep-15-07 14:50:19 PDT)

Nothing to fancy, just something to upload my vids to net. What do you guys think?

I can.
I highly recommend that you buy an ATI TV Wonder Pro, the quality will beat the one you found on eBay, and its probably one of the most popular capture cards in the Halo community. They dont sell it in stores anymore, so buy it from here like I did. Its only 30 dollars, and the quality is amazing.
Product detail - TV Wonder Pro PCI NTSC Whitebox - REFURB*
Take my word for it, the best buy for a capture card right now, low price, super quality, PCI, and it works like a charm.

Thanks hotfiya. I was thinking about going with the one you posted or ATI TV Wonder 200. I saw one that you posted, on Ebay for $11.

But to be honest, all ATI capture cards capture the exact same quailty. The only reason the quality tests are different is because most people suck at compressing.

As for the OP, you're restricted to a very low resolution capturing AVI. Definitely not recommended.
