Xtasy Everything

[zandor45]

I was wondering if anyone had any experiance with this card. I am planning on using it with a Celeron 600 to serve as a video recording machine. It will also be used as a backup gaming machine. Any better cards, any cheaper cards. All info is appricated.

using one right now as i type this. geofrce2 mx400 version. vid capture is not as clear as ati cards i've used prior. And I'm still having major problems with the ViVO / time delay functions. I am thinking of returning to my geforce 2 gts 32mb and getting a Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge I lose the time delay but get the much better quality vid capture.

I will try to post some samples from this xtasy everything once I reinstall OS.

Definately consider a current all-in-wonder though.

VisionTek's xtasy Everything product is based off of nVidia's Personal Cinema.
Stay away... stay far far away from the Personal Cinema. Please forget you ever heard of the Personal Cinema product and the Xtasy Everything varient of it.

I've had the distinct displeasure of setting up an nVidia Personal Cinema twice and I pray I never need to do so again. Drivers are terrible, features extremely poorly implemented and many don't work very well at all. Is difficult to set up and get running "properly". Product documentation is virtually non-existent.
IMHO it is a very poorly implemented product. Much potential, but the execution was was lacking.

A few other members here have used it and usualy expressed much the same opinion, as have the majority of the reviews on it.

Everything the Personal Cinema has the AIW offers and much more besides, not to mention the AIW's features actually work which is more then can be said for the Personal Cinema in most cases.

Forget the Xtasy Everything and look into Matrox G450 eTV or one of ATi's All In Wonder cards.
