Am looking at video cards with TV out. Very confusing.

Both of my computers have onboard intel graphics which perform very well. The Gateway (Penium D 820) has an ATI OTA HDTV capture board and has an empty 16x PCI Express socket. Am considering an "Add2" board with a s-video out.

The HP (2.53Ghz P4) has a PVR-150 capture board and has an empty AGP 4X socket. Not all that fast an option. Am considering a Ratheon 9000 or something similiar for the HP with s-video out.

A lot of trouble to capture screensavers, but, what the hell!

I can either put an add2 board out into the Gateway and feed into the Hp or put a s-video board into the HP and feed back into the PVR-250.

Quite a mess, but tv software capture programs are just too slow. I'm going to get something that will output 1024x768, as this will exceed NTSC. I have basically no expertise when it comes to choosing a graphic board.

I would appreciate any advice. All I want to do with this is capture animated screensavers (example, Sachs Marine Aquarium, Sharks, etc) to process with TMPGEnc/Avisynth and mux with music for DVD. I have tried numerous software captures (Fraps, CamStudio, etc.) but get jerky blurred output. Am trying to do as inexpensive as possible (who can rationally justify screensaver captures?)!
