Second video card

ggarsk · 12-13-2006, 09:00 PM

I want to transfer VCR tapes to my pc. I have a nVIDIA GeForce FX card in already. Can I install a ATI card just to transfer the tapes and not hook it to a moniter?

Sorry, I thought I edited the post to show what the video card was. It is an ATI All in Wonder with S-Video in and out and CATV tuner. I also have the ATI input adapter to hook up to the VCR. Would it be ok to use the ATI just for video transfer?

you should be able todo this but need the software etc from ATI. Also what interface is the AIW ? id assume its AGP so if the FX is AGP aswell i wouldnt know how to have two cards running at the same time.

also what AIW card is it ?

AIW = all in wonder

It's a AWI 128 Pro. It's also a PCI interface. I got the software, it's a card from one of my earlier builds. Thanks for your imput, i'll install it and see what happens.
