I'm sure this has been discussed thoroughly in this section, but I was looking for advice on what sort of display card to use for best results taking flics directly to NTSC. My problem is that we already have a TARGA 16 and TARGA+64, as well as some good fast SVGA display adaptors for use for CAD drafting and windows. I hear the encoder on the Truevision VideoVGA is very nice, but except for the NTSC output, the card seems pretty limited in functionality. If all I really want to add is good NTSC output, isn't there another way that uses the hardware i have better? How is the VideoVGA with AutoCAD or other CAD packages? A dealer here suggested getting a hold of an old Vision VGA Overlay card, which outputs RGB at 15.75Khz. He said I could just use it as my adaptor, and take the RGB output from the card as input to the TARGA+, thus using the TARGA+ to encode the signal. These cards apparently are not being made any more or supported. I'd be interested in suggestions or comments. –Noah
