I may not be an expert on the subject, but I've seen some very crappy VidCap cards, and some very nice ones, ATI has a pretty solid product, as does Pinnacle (mostly high end). Just keep in mind that for the most part, you get what you pay for. While 99 bucks isn't exactly cheap, the nicer vidcap cards can cost upwards of 400+. As far as a suggestion goes, find a local computer retailer with a decent return policy, so that you can at least try out a range of cards to see what suits your needs. That way, you can find what you like, find it cheaper online, and return it

Anyway, just my two cents.
