Hi, I'm looking for a mac video card, capable of driving a second monitor, and must have svideo in/out. I've looked around, and all I can find is the Xclaim128, which has big sound sync issues. Are there any cards that can do these things? It would be great if ATI offered an "all-in-wonder", or if there was a geforce3+multimedia card for/compatable with mac.

any ideas?

I agree with you Yukon. ATI blows and Apple is finally doing something about it... but in the meantime, and for a long time, no other companies have stepped forward to offer a nice combo-type card. I'd like to see an nVidia based TV tuner, TV out, S-video in and out, hardware DVD decoding, and video capture, preferably like tivo, but just so you can record TV to your HD... wishful thinking to graphics cards manufacturers who don't listen.

There are a couple of Firewire external capture boxes I've been looking at.
Formac's "Studio" is one the other is called a "Hollywood DV Bridge" or something.I forget the brand.Both are around3-400 bucks.
Not much for cards unless you want to spend BIG bucks.
I also wish ATi would make a Mac All-in-Wonder Radeon.
