Hi, Martin…Yes they are different..but allegedly they have the
same quality output (the MARS 2 is MPEG-2 which is supposed to be
Broadcast Quality). The MARS 2, however, doesn't require an extra
hard-drive and is cheaper than what people are advertising used PARS
for. (see my reply to Paul Sanford)
So far, from what I've found out, both can convert Targas to video
and MARS 2 can do it synched to sound without having to buy another
software package. I still haven't made up my mind about the PVR or
MARS 2, but I am intrigued and looking to make a purchase in 3 months
or so. I just wish there was more info available on both products.
