I have this card.
It has the capture card has component, S-Video y/c, and composite in
The PAR itsself has the same out.
However you will only be able to use the captured sequence with the PAR drive
in its own format if you do not have any software package that can process a
series of TGA files to AVI files.
You can export from the dedicated harddrive of the PAR in two fromats:
1. the PARs native ANI fromat, which is only usefull for backups but cannot be
used for anything else except on the par drive itsself for playing.
2. You can export as a series of TGA files but you would then need a program to
convert those to AVI, I currntly use 3D-Studio however I'm in no need for AVI I
mostly export to SCHS or VHS, and in exeptional cases to BetaSP.
However I can say quality of PAR is great I'm in PAL-land and get comprssion
ratio of about 8.4 to 1, which is nice and has already been used for Broadcast
national TV overhere, but only in adds? (NTSC compression is higher about 10 to
1)
