So Apparently this little video capture card has been taken down by $40 to a swift $99.
This looks like a pretty nice little card, but I'm curious from anyone who's had experience with it. Is it a Good purchase? Does it perform well? It doesn't do video Out, but I can deal with that I guess. I'm just curious what people have to say.

What's the low down on this?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you are going to put it in, but here is one that works in the G3 but not the G4 and not under OS X for only $69.

I just noticed that you asked about the Hollywood bridge, too. If you considering both, maybe the Formac Studio would be for you. It has DV-to-Analog coversion, as well as a TV tuner built in. Just a thought.
