please recommend a video capture card

[Elliott Wilcoxon]

I know it's not a useful recommendation, but I hope I can save your 
daughter some trouble.  Avoid ATI's TV Wonder line of cards.  They have 
pitiful Windows support, despite them working great under Linux.  I've 
heard (I don't own one) that their AIW line of cards however, have 
excellent Windows support, many great features, and excellent picture 
quality.

A college student who thought picking up a TV Wonder instead of a TV for 
his dorm room was a great idea. ;.;
