Hi, I'm considering getting a HW encoder, and had seen these 2 as potentials, could some of you give me an opinion, I don't want to dish out all that money, and get sucky results, is it true that using a Matrox, and Panasonic Mpeg1 yields better results? If you like another card, please let me know about it as well. Thanks in advance. Jorge

I suggest you to buy VideoOne Recorder by Array Microsystems I also have one. This card is for only $700 but its results are like Optibase $2400 card in Real time capturing and encoding for VCD rest of the other cards (Brodway, RT6, Mpegator, Dazzal etc)are shit as compare to this card. Godluck

optibase xpress is a good card. If the video one yields result like the optibase, then by all mean get it :) As for RT-6 is a shitty card? Don't think so :) I have both optibase and RT-6. They have advantage over one another...depends on your needs. Just my 2 cents worth.

btw the new dcm from vitec is not the same as RT-6! RT-6 has been discontinued by vitec. This card is rare now...
