TV on a computer!

by waynething , Jul 07 '02

Cons: Is it the best quality? Poor/no documentation. Odd line in full screen. Poor on-screen display.

Creative Video Blaster Digital VCR

by merlechris , Aug 01 '02
Pros: Worked right out of the box
Cons: Lacks support and software
Overall I am not satisfied due to one very critical shortcoming. The encoding to MPEG-2 does not match the standards for either VCD or SVCD, and it seems that through trial and error that very, very few encoding programs can encode it to be compliant. It...
