Okay first of all a Wonder Pro will only work with a desktop computer. You need to have a free PCI slot and probably a Pentium 4 computer. You can't be afraid to open your computer, I admit I was at first, but it took literally 30 seconds to slide the card into a slot.

This is the best quality capture card for the cheapest price.

What You Need:
1. ATI TV Wonder Pro: Includes software, and purple box shown in the setup. $70
2. S-Video Cable $7
3. 2x Audio Splitters $8
4. XBOX Advance AV Pack $20
5. Audio In Piece Plugs into the microphone jack on your computer. $5
6. 2x Red & White AV Cables $12
7. Use the Yellow AV Cable that comes with the Advance AV Pack to hook up to your tv.

Grand Total: $122




What You Need:


Setup:


1. Plug your ADVANCE AV PACK into your XBOX.
2. Plug the AUDIO SPLITTERS into the white and red jacks on the ADVANCE AV PACK.
3. Plug both RED AV CABLES into the RED AUDIO SPLITTER. Make one cable run into the TV, and one cable run into the AUDIO IN PIECE.
4. Plug both WHITE AV CABLES into the WHITE AUDIO SPLITTER. Make one cable run into the TV, and one cable run into the AUDIO IN PIECE.
5. Plug the YELLOW AV CABLE into the ADVANCE AV PACK one on end, and the TV on the other end.
6. Plug the S-VIDEO CABLE into the ADVANCE AV PACK one on end, and the WONDER PRO BOX on the other end.
8. Plug the AUDIO IN PIECE into the RED MICROPHONE JACK on your COMPUTER.

You should be good to go from here.

yeah nice tut for novices at the capturing

eeeeraaape tut man i WAS gonna buy another dazzle but after seeing this i might buy this ati thingamajigger....maybe a short quality test sorta vid would make this thread cool to so peeps can see the quality they will get? just a suggestion.

question, don't they have splitters thhat just like, you plug the yellow one in then it splits into two cables?

i really dont understand this, to capture i plug my xbox through scart, and then i connect the video and audio outputs on the tv straight to my computer with composite leads. no splittters or anything.

pan1c what is ure setup on ure 360

i had a dazzle but it was very finicky and didnt work on my school comp (i dropped crazy amounts of frames as a whole lot of people do on the forum). However, I dont have any PCI slots, so an alternative is to buy the ati wonder pro USB version. This is essentially like the dazzle 90 or 150 (not sure how it ranks as far as quality) and uses the usb 2.0 slot. It retails for $100 but I got a $20 instant rebate, so for $80 its a good deal.

Just a suggestion for people in my same position.

And this is why Pan1c gets so many nominations for H2F's best.
