>I am considering purchase of a system which uses the Cardinal SnapPlus as a video capture board. It is my understanding that this board also has a VGA video board included in the design. I will be mainly capturing stills. Does anyone have any experience with this product ?< No personal experience, but I can't say I've heard anything good about it–and when I asked Cardinal to send me a SnapPlus! board so I could review it for VIDEO, they never got back to me… What I *do* know is it captures video at 320 x 240 pixels, which ain't real good for still capture, then extrapolates it up to 640 x 480. If you want still capture mainly (w/some motion video capability for .AVI files), try getting the Intel Smart Video Recorder Pro–it captures 640 x 480 at 2 fps, and can capture 240 x 180 at 30 fps. Also, the Miro DC1 or Fast Movie Machine sound like good, inexpensive choices if you'd like video capture capability in and output… Hope this helps, Tim Liebe
