Budget Video Out
« on: January 08, 2004, 02:33:01 pm »
Mods, move this as you see fit, but I couldn't figure out which forum was best for it.

I'm working on my Virtual Jukebox project, having finally gotten the computer together for it.  What I'm looking for is a budget video card with TV-out that I can use with it.  

For those not familiar with this software, in dual monitor situations the primary video will have the music selections, and if a secondary card is attached then you can output video, lyrics, etc to a secondary video source.

So in practice, this second card will be used to output to my big screen to show the 300+ music videos I have in mpeg and avi format.

This card really doesn't need to be much special, but I am afraid of a subpar card that has a subpar TV-out since we all know these are not all created equal.  Any ideas for older, less powerful cards with a good video out.  Hell, something 16MB or 32MB should suffice.

Thanks for your input.

I've been using a NVidia MX 420 w/ svid out.
Works great for me (even when I dumb it down to RCA), but others will swear by ATI cards...

It's up to you really... you can get a cheap 32MB ATI or NVidia w/ TV-out for under $20...
I'm not a freak!...
Oh wait...
Yes I am...
