Hey! Dont know all that much but the ATI new X1300 range might be what your after, if your on a tight budget then look at the Sapphire ATI Radeon X1300 256MB DDR2 AVIVO TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-108-SP). It has AVIVO not sure bout tha TVOUT though, check the full spec on the Sapphire website... This card will suck for games though! But with the 1300 you get a certain amount of future proofing too! And at £58.69 its pretty cheap too.

what about nvidia wise??

I'm not too up on NVIDIA tech atm, but as far as i can see none of their graphics cards support AVIVO technology, it must just be an ATI thing. I have always viewed NVIDIA cards as a gaming only option for the best part, although they can obviously be used in other applications i dont see the same support for video enhancement that ATi offer. Hope that can help a bit, oh and have a look at overclockers MAtrox range of cards, they have a few good video enhanced options, but at a slightly higher price

You would also be able to use vivo video convertor which would allow you to convert videos crossformat like lightning

when i say video editing all i would like to do is copy footage from the mini camcorder tapes put it on my pc and then use virtualdub to cut some scenes...

So camcorder via s-video to pc, record footage onto hdd, then edit using virtual dub....

I dont even know if I need VIVO whatever that is????

I just need a basic graphics card that will allow me to do this?

pls advice...

Cheaper the better....thanks
